Recently I bought a second hand EM1.1 in pristine condition, plus the battery grip , 2 Olympus batteries and a RRS L plate for $270 including PP and shipping. Seemed like a good deal to me. It was cheaper than sending in my original EM-1 (purchased in 2013) for needed repairs.

I had moved on to a Panasonic GX8, but wanted to keep the Em1 for use with my older 4/3 lenses.

Now if only the EM1.2 sinks to that price........

The only reason the EM1.2 would sink is if nobody wants it anymore. If that's the case you need to ask yourself why you still want it.

Why on earth should it matter what other people think?

Most people aren't as different from everyone else as they like to think. Chances are if something is unpopular there's a good reason for it.

If you say so. Personally I like to form my own opinions. If I am happy with something in life, then I am happy with it. I don't need other people to tell me whether I should like something or not.

I think you misunderstand my point.  I'm not telling you to base your opinion on anybody else's; I'm saying you might find yourself in agreement with other's opinions quite naturally.  If they all think a camera isn't worth much, odds are you won't think it's worth much either.  If that turns out not to be the case, congratulations, you find yourself in a lucky place.

I find it ironic to have this conversation in the m4/3 forum, where you kind of have to be a bit contrarian to begin with.  Nobody buys into this system because it's the most popular.
