These cameras saw daylight between 2012 and 2015, so, very probably only used ones will be avaliable. ...

And can be hard to find.

The popular "enthusiast" type 1.7" sensor cameras availability becoming more limited, hence prices for one in (a truly) "good condition" are generally at a premium.

When I do occasionally do see a used G15, G16, S110, etc. at B&H, Adorama, KEH, etc. are usually sold within a day.

... My experience in buying used cameras is not good. Those described as mint were indeed far from it, and a Nikon P7700 so described was unusable. ...

Hence why I've always preferred to spend a little more and buy use cameras/ gear from a reputable online reseller that has at least a 30-Day Full Refund period.  Since the demise of my local camera store, for past 30+ years been buying from B&H Photo or Adorama.  Used gear purchased quality has always been as described.  With B&H Photo with generally free shipping and no sales tax (currently when you purchase with B&H Photo Card) helps to make B&H price a little more competitive.

Of course for Canon camera, lenses, etc. I always first check the Canon Certified Refurbished Sites—as they come with Canon 1-Year Warranty.

Cheers,
Jon
