Seems prices for used Fuji's in general has gone crazy high, (not just UK)

Most v. good -> excellent condition ones are fetching 2/3 to even 3/4 original prices, with especially X-E3's fetching up to original new prices..

Except.. X-T2.. which in UK are currently fetching around 1/3 original prices (for v.good-excellent condition)

X-T20's and X-T2's are going for about the same prices, yet X-T20 original rrp was only about 1/2 that of the X-T2.. You get so much more for your money with the X-T2..

So why? Yet I think (and seems opinions of many here) the X-T2 is one of the best, most well-rounded and popular in the X-T line; It improves on the X-T1 in almost every department (improved sensor, electronic shutter, joy-stick, etc) yet loses v little to X-t3. It is smaller than X-T3, and I also much prefer the tilt lcd to X-T3's flip lcd..

So, at least here in UK, X-T2 is still the hidden gem..

Yes. All models with the finder on the left come with the "hipster/Tiktok premium tax" over the more mundane centered EVF cameras.

Right now there are a couple of X-E2 on eBay with asking prices between 700 and 800 bucks. Same thing with the X100 and X-Pros in all its variations; way to high. 
BTW, The XT3 still has the tilt-screen, they went for the flip one on the X-T4 and on.
