My X100S is dying and I was looking to get another second-hand Fujifilm from ebay (UK) and I noticed that there don't seem to be many X100 series listed on ebay as previously and prices are up. For example the X100S seems to be around £450. When I bought mine 5 years ago, they were £350-£400. XE-3 are around £380-£450. They were around £300 a year ago.

Are others seeing this?

Maybe it's inflation, fall in the pound or component shortages stopping people buying new cameras? Or maybe people have stopped buying new cameras all together?

What's going on?

Or Fujifilm taking wrong turns, and hence current users not being keen to upgrade? That is the case for me, since X-H1. Sorry, but I can't say it often enough.

Agreed.  Yes, I've shot the X-H2S and I wound up not hating the PASM controls.  It's a great camera..  but other than faster autofocus, generally, I just frankly can't see the need to upgrade from my pair of X-H1s.  They made the H1 too well and now they've vowed to not make that mistake again..  hence the new PASM video cameras, technical marvels though they are.
