DigitalHeMan Posted July 25, 2014 Share #2 Â Posted July 25, 2014 So now Leica will make way more money from selling each Leica at auction than they ever did when it was sold originally in the market. Nice business model Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted July 26, 2014 Share #3 Â Posted July 26, 2014 But making money twice on something isn't exactly unique, car dealerships have been selling new cars, taking them back, and selling them again since the dawn of motoring. There are relatively few goods that lend themselves to this, you would throw a Canon or Nikon away for instance, but for anything with a longer service life manufacturers are often involved with the pre-loved market.
