Except that Fuji does not see any additional profit from inflated secondary market prices. Fuji makes the same profit wether X100Vs are going for MSRP or for 10x MSRP on the secondary market.

Agree. But that hype keeps the cameras flying off the shelves. I doubt there is a camera more desirable than the X100 between people who consume social media and want a camera to take pics and also feel trendy (not paid pros or real enthusiasts like many of us are).

Flying off the shelves sure but if it’s low volume due to supply issues it’s not making Fuji money.  However it is building their brand as a premium brand.
