Registering Leica products, any use?

I register all my Leica products.

This gives me a single place to store all information regarding my Leica gear.

I actually also write the price I paid in the notes, just to remind me how much I have spent - or how crazy the prices of used lenses have become lately.

Pity you can't add non-Leica lenses - I know one couldn't expect that, but it would be convenient to keep everything in one place.

 

I also register all my buyings on the Leica customer site. I do not ad the price of the item. In a strange way I alway remember how much I payed for it.

Same with me, strange.

Thanks guys. All good reasons and it makes it a bit clearer for me. Got a new 35 Lux last week and thought I will ask. Funny though how all dealers said it could only arrived in June, but as soon as I paid a decent sized deposit it mysteriously appeared the next day, with a 1000 Dollars increse from the old prize of cause!

 

Not so mysterious. With a deposit you declare yourself as a serious and committed buyer. My experience is that the deposit therefore seems to secure a different level of commitment from the vendor and a place further up the waiting list. So it should.
