I'm not saying Leica is profiting directly, just that the brand's cameras soak up an inordinate amount of revenue in the used market.

And yes, the used market in general has been in a rising tide lately (especially for perennial niches like rangefinders) but you can still get into very high quality vintage gear for peanuts if you shop around a bit. Hopefully the surge in demand will get more manufacturers looking at making film bodies again so we're not sifting through the dwindling supply of used gear.
