Do you think the X100 VI is going to be as popular as the V and end up being in short supply?

Sorry to hear, I never had that issue and use my Payboo all the time. It must have been years without you making making any purchases and I'd think they sent you notices beforehand, personally I wouldn't leave any CC open for years without being used but that's just me.
It's still a great program and I've saved thousands over the years especially with my a7rv and all the lenses I've purchased. Again, sorry it didn't work out for ya'.

Maybe this week. But as the camera begins to gain awareness in the addled brains of tiktocers, demand will increase.

Are you sure what you see is selling price? It’s likely asking price.
And I think that answers your question.

^ This, there's huge difference between asking and actually selling. I was amazed that my X100V sold for so much on eBay over a year ago. I didn't realize how strong the craze was until I listed it and the price just kept going up and up, I'd imagine that craze now is not nearly as high as it was back then.

On a more serious note, surely those older models prices are going to come down drastically now?

I just checked recent eBay sales and most are back down around $1300-1500 which is still high but no where near the $2000+ I sold mine for last year and I'd expect the prices will continue to come down to a more reasonable level now.

um. Sorry, that is MPB’s asking price. Today. They will likely adjust asking down over the next few weeks. But not until demand actually deips.
If you want to see the gap between asking and selling, offer one for sale to MPB.

Yeah, that’s basically the question. If you take a look at Fujifilm’s official marketing copy & videos you see that they try hard to use the momentum they gained with the X100V by presenting the new body as a V with this magical rift behind it (if you don’t see it, just smoke more).
Let’s see what the future will bring us and if their strategy works.

mpb.com is selling Fuji x100Vs in "Like new" condition for $1,709.00. Seriously?

If you can get it why not, but after a while of it perhaps not selling they’ll see what the actual FMV is now.

There will be a feeding frenzy of panic buying over the next three months, induced by the same Fear Of Being Left Out as with the V craze over the last 24 months. This will be followed by a summer lull once all initial orders are fulfilled, with ready availability from retailers. A good number of buyers will then scratch their heads and wonder why they jumped on this thing, and put their VI up for sale- at first at unrealistic asking prices. Soon used prices will fall based on the sheer supply. By Fall Fuji will offer a promotion such as a nice Domke bag with every sale, and the unit itself will be discountable new on greentoe.
This is the path the V took on introduction. With presumably increased production capacity with its new China factory, supply should not be a problem, nor will Fuji's ability to obtain components, unlike with the V in its latter days.
This speculation is just as valid as any other. Except that it's correct.

Maybe someplace other than the US, their top price for an x100s is $849 in LIKE NEW condition and has been since 2/16.
Their top price for the x100v in LIKE NEW is $1709 so I suspect you had the model wrong. Fuji has the x100v listed at $1399 on their site (no indication of availability).
I thought it would be interesting to track older model prices once the vi was released. Here are MPB's price ranges:
- x100v $1579 to $1709 with 50 or so in stock
- x100f $954 to $1159 with 51 or so in stock
- x100t $739 to $889 with 12 or so in stock
- x100s $659 to $849 with 13 or so in stock
- x100 $640 (might have been the only one)

This got me thinking. I’ve recently become somewhat of a watch enthusiast. The dirty little secret I’ve learned about the title of “Swiss Made” is that there are even exceptions to that. It’s even written and officially outlined by the Swiss themselves. I believe 60 percent of the watch has to be made in Switzerland, the rest can me made elsewhere and then assembled in Switzerland.
So what they do to cut costs is have the movement made in Switzerland and literally every other component sourced elsewhere.
So this begs the questions:
What percentage of your “Made in Japan” camera is actually made in Japan?
and, does “Made in” have any meaning these days?

I am old enough to remember when made in Japan had the same negative connotations that made in China seems to today. I suspect that China has some of the most advanced and high quality manufacturing facilities on the planet these days.
I pulled this screenshot from Amazon 2 minutes before this post. Yes, that is over $2000 for the X100V on the day the X100VI was released. Just incredible.
