edstock Posted October 23, 2022 Share #1 Posted October 23, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just was curious to see if any differences in price between existing MP, M-A and the new model M6. B&H, NYC lists the MP for $5,600 plus, the M-A for $5,500 plus. Leica USA advises the new M6 when released on November 3 will have a MSRP $5,295.00. According to Leica, the new M6 is aimed at a younger demographic, first time Leica buyer. Again according to Leica, the original M6 was produced in approximately 180,000 units.

M6 Re-dux: £4,500.00, MA; £4,310.00 and MP: £4,400.00 I think they are looking to increase BP MP price. Silver chrome MP used to be 4200 but is now 4400, the same as BP.

colonel Posted October 25, 2022 Share #5 Posted October 25, 2022 The MP will go up in price and the MP2 will probably be 500-1000 more than the M6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted October 25, 2022 Share #7 Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) It will be interesting* to watch used M6 (original) prices. They seem to be currently around half the price of the new one. Will they fall because everyone will now want the new one, or rise because of the extra interest stirred up by the launch? * Of course I have no interest in picking up a nice used one......of course......of course.....hmmmm...

raizans Posted October 27, 2022 Share #9 Posted October 27, 2022 Whether the M6 classic goes up in value depends on whether the meter can be repaired with M6 reissue parts. For the last few days, Leica has been dissembling a little in their messaging on social media, so it's not clear what the truth is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huss Posted October 29, 2022 Share #15 Posted October 29, 2022 Ok , just checked my credit card statement. I was charged $4294.65 for the new M6 to be delivered from the UK to the US. If I bought it here in the US it would cost me $5295 + tax = $5798. So I saved $1503. And it comes w full international warranty. Still waiting for delivery though.... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What part don't you understand? I think I explained it quite clearly. It's called arbitrage. Maybe you don't realize that in England they have to pay 20% VAT. If you buy for export, you do not. So you get 20% off the UK price and a currently favorable exchange rate due to the weak GBP. Edited October 30, 2022 by Huss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The listed UK price includes VAT? I’ve never purchased from UK. I assumed it worked like US where the tax is not included in the list price. So that is what I didn’t understand, if my statement is correct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
