Sales are limited on ebay too. In recent history 10 Sigma SA mount ART lenses actually sold. Canon and Nikon lens mount ARTs sold about 9x more each and 15x more Sony mount ART lenses. And they sold for higher prices too.

But how many of each brand are listed?

I watch Sigma SA lenses on eBay. You are correct that there aren't many listed, and of those that are listed, there is one seller with several NOS very old lenses that is trying to get almost as new prices for them. Those lenses have been listed for over a year.

Then there are a bunch of 30mm kit lenses from the sdQ. Probably mostly from the same people trying to offload them.

It takes a while for something special to pop up. Even a SA mount 1.4x teleconverter for less than new is infrequent.

I won't count them, but I would guess that there are easily 10x-15x more Sigma lenses in any of the other mainstream mounts (Canon, Sony, Nikon) than Sigma SA lenses.

I am only talking about ART lenses, so that isn't including really old lenses in any mount.

There are 4x as many ART lenses in Canon or Nikon mount currently compared to Sigma SA mount Art lenses. And 10X as many Sony mount ART lenses currently listed.

4x more listings (Canon or Nikon) but 9x more actually sold. Or 10x more listed for Sony and 15x more sold.
