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.

Irrelevant as this is about eBay mostly. Repeating a silly statement does not make it smart

eBay isn't the only place to buy a camera.  That said, I've seen used X100Vs going for hundreds of USD over list price, so for whatever reason, there does seem to be something of a run on these cameras recently.
