You might be thinking of the Leica M series, they are still up there in resale value.

I think that could be, I got an M3 which isn't necessarily the most valuable or collectible, doesn't have a built in meter, etc. Getting it for the lens was worth what I paid for it, especially since I can use it with a film rangefinder and my digital camera. Yours seems to have the collapsible lens which isn't compatible with everything I have so that'd be one disadvantage for me with that model, otherwise that would be tempting.

The M series is not Leica screw mount.

BTW I have dropped the price of my Canon 7 w/ lens due to very slight lens fungus ... to $250
No bids yet on either auctions.

The leatherette on the Minolta needed replacement.
Got some burgundy leather from UK seller

Hope blacksheep (my wife) likes it ... she has not seen it yet.
