I've noticed that the prices on E-bay for Samsung's cameras are wild. For example, you can get a gently used NX300 with lens and a bunch of accessories for $170, or you can get a new copy for $760. I mean, I've heard of taking a hit on the resale, but seriously WTH? Compare this with say a Sony camera where there is maybe a 20% difference in price between new and used. Is it really worth paying the extra 4-5x the price for new? Or has Samsung cameras reached Transformers status?
In the same vein, the price spreads between the NX500, NX1, etc... is just wacky. Buying a whole system with lens and accessories sometimes comes in much cheaper than buying separate. And sometimes not. Watching the prices on E-bay reminds me of Bitcoin.
On a tangent, now that things have progressed for a couple of months (has it been a year?) since the NX1 was released, has any of the competitors caught up with it yet? I remember it was considered the #1 APS-C camera in terms of IQ.
Due to lack of supply at this time (Christmas & NYE) prices went whack. I mean I can sell my NX1000 for €100 if I put it on while couple months ago I would be lucky to get €40-50. I sold my NX500+16-50PZ 3 months ago for €500 which was the avg price back then (lowest was about €350) and now the cheapest goes for €650 or so
Just wait 'till early spring when the weather gets better and people upgrade their cameras to get out with new crap and supply will be much bigger.
