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?

When the availability of replacement high-end NX cameras becomes so limited that there's simply not enough to meet demand, users will need to switch away to another system and their lenses will, eventually, flood the market.

As the prices of lenses start to drop, more users will try to sell their systems before the invested value disappears completely and so exacerbate the scenario!

Hopefully my NX5 will still be working and I'll be able to pick up a 30mm f/2 for peanuts
