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?

If you had not noticed, there is/was a massive global pandemic that disrupted manufacturing, supplies, and transportation all around the world.  Pretty much any product you can think of is harder to find and more expensive than it was just a couple years ago. New X100V cameras have been very difficult to purchase for quite a while, which will push some people to instead consider one of the older, used alternatives.

It is all just basic supply and demand 101 on a global scale.

Have you tried shopping for a new or used car lately?
