ptarmigan Posted September 26, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 26, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I hear from 2 dealers in the UK that they have waiting lists that are 9 or 10 times the number of M9s they have sold so far. If that is typical it looks like there may be a long wait for some. Will this mean the price goes up soon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ian Snap - I've had just the same report - actually, the two dealers I asked both had waiting lists of around 40, and they had both had 3 cameras so far. The price will go up in January with the VAT anyway. Otherwise I wouldn't think so. I guess we should all be pleased that the camera is such a big success . . even if it means waiting longer (I'm in a queue for a silver one too :-( ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
delander † Posted September 26, 2009 Share #3 Posted September 26, 2009 Sounds bad but how many were sold in the first wave? And evidently they have ramped up production to some 120 a day now that M8 production has stopped. So it may not be too long to wait, and some will drop out of the list.

Jeff I hope this is not wishful thinking. My dealer has 40 on order and I'm no. 14. Very frustrating. But at least I haven't sold the M8 yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted September 26, 2009 Share #5 Posted September 26, 2009 Any indication in the UK that M9 availability is related to whether or not the shop has agreed to carry the S2? It's claimed in another thread that this is true in the Spanish channel. scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleskin Posted September 26, 2009 Share #6 Posted September 26, 2009 Think classic supply and demand economics. With increasing demand , production should increase, and in time, prices should come down, and profits should rise with greater volume. Leica is a corporation in a capitalist world, and all of the above guarentee making money!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
