Bad "investment", IMO, unless someone was to buy the whole lot and put them 
away somewhere for 10-20 years.   They won't appreciate very much though, IMO.
The $80,000 invested in the stock market would grow, if it returned the 
historical average of the past 60 or 70 years, to about $640,000 over the next 
20 
years.  Because of inflation it might be worth perhaps $320,000 in current 
dollars, which is much better than a jab in the eye with a sharp stick.  The 
Leicas would collect dust and perhaps appreciate slightly, but are not an 
investment.

OM content (to keep this on topic) - Invest time in using your OMs, enjoy 
them and the images you produce.  Get to know your cameras and yourself and 
although you may not have the $640,000, your soul will be fed for a lifetime 
and 
you will touch others in a way which is priceless.  Have a wonder holiday 
season 
and a glorious new year.  Bill Barber
