I hadn't intended to start a big arguments but thanks for your thoughts and the gossip.

My latent question, which I hadn't made explicit in my original question was whether to hang in and wait for things to go back to normal when I might be able to pick up used Fujifilm cameras at happy prices we used to see until a year ago (though it's anyone's guess what will happen in the future).

Many have pointed to  a shortage of new Fujifilm cameras due to component shortage. If that's the underlying cause, then things might go back to normal eventually?

...Why is Fuji USED gear going up in price and getting harder to find, while other brands used gear is not?

I found this observation interesting.

Someone suggested that new Sony and Canon cameras are much better so there's a steady flow of these brands coming on the second-hand market. Meanwhile, it's been suggested by some that Fujifilm's improvements have been marginal so people aren't buying the new Fujis. If that's a contributor, then used Fujifilm cameras might remain high...

I guess I'll just wait and hope that used Fujifilm cameras come down in price for the likes of me.
