I have been looking for a pristine NX500 for a long time but used prices seem to be a bit on the high side. Are they in short supply or Is there another reason for it? There aren't that many 500's being sold on ebay UK.

It's a shame really as the review videos on YouTube seem to unanimously consider this to be an excellent camera, maybe that's why prices are high.

Thank you.

I think many people have already alluded to the principle reasons. In summary I think;

1 - Not too many may have sold in the first place, so rare on the ground.

2 - Some have died and people can't get them repaired.

3 - Some, like me, are hoarding them. I managed to get 3 when I found out how good they were and before the prices went up. Mine were all less than £300 each.

I think the same can be said of their excellent lenses. I've got multiple copies of; 16mm, 20mm, 30mm and 16-50mm PZ. I'm still in the market for others. I had an excellent copy of 50-150mm S, sold it and now regret it - such is life.

Regards, Wahid.

Not the cheapest by any stretch, but they are really hard to find these days.

Agreed. Thanks for the link, but too rich for my blood.
