It's difficult to ignore the price hike on used cameras of older and current Fujifilm models in the market. The scarcity of the X100V is a prime example which are being sold for $2000. As well as X-E2, X-Pro2, etc, that's now priced for at least $200-$400 higher than what it used to be a year ago.

When Fujifilm starts to release more current gen models in the market later this year, can we expect the price of the used market to drop or normalize? Or are some of these older first & second gen cameras (X-Trans I & II) going to remain high because of the rarity of them?

The price of some of the first generation cameras have nothing to do with distribution of newer cameras. The first generation X100massive price hike has to do with the older digital camera trend that's infested social media. The first generation X-Pro has a reputation of great colors much like the hype of the Leica M9. That and the knowledge that photographers like William Eggleston used the camera.
