G2 now $300 – terrible resale value

Jul 10, 2011

As usual, Pany is selling its excess inventory for peanuts. Means that the resale value of outgoing models is terrible if you want to trade up. What did you buy the G2 for?

It's a terrible loss for such a short period of time.

I was lucky to get 50% back on the GH1 after 15 months. This is a terrible economic situation.

What are you going to do? Wait for new model to drop in price. Buy pre-owned? Don't care?

Let's have an honest discussion wuthout the trolls. Thanks.
