Yes, NX gear is holding their prices very well. That just shows you how good the gear is even in 2019. For comparison, look at the price of Sony A gear. Its sold dirt cheap now.

Sony A gear owners have an upgrade path, so their older equipment is being traded on in the normal course of events.

Samsung NX users have no other option than to buy second-hand if they wish to continue to utilize their lens investment. The inevitably diminishing number of working bodies will continue to maintain a buoyant resale market until it collapses completely

Good points. Question is what would make it collapse?

I must admit that I have reduced using my NX500 for videos because there's no external mic input possible (I use Sony a68 now). I miss the OIS but the AF is faster; significantly much less focus hunting, and; even less noisy AF with Sony 16-50mm f/2.8 SSM than it was with NX 18-200mm OIS lens.

By the way, which were the last/best models that support Samsung EM10 microphone? NX3300? NX300?

My new set-up for candid/home videos:
