The OM-4 has dropped in price, but not that far. My experience has the
price in the right order: OM-1 -> OM-2 -> OM-4

My experience: the OM-2S falls just above a chrome OM-2n in pricing with
an equal condition OM-4 significantly more. The black OM-2n's without
brassing have too many collectors (??) looking for them that are willing
to pay a high premium for a black body one in EX+/LN- condition. Pricing
on them is very, very cosmetic condition dependent.

The first OM body I purchased in my new Zuiko enthusiasm was a mint black
OM-2 which was quickly joined by a cheaper mint chrome OM-2n. After using
the OM-2n I realised that it was the camera I wanted to be my main body;
but I wanted one in black like the OM-2. I sold the chrome OM-2n hoping I'd
quickly find a black OM-2n to replace it. That's when I discovered the
pricing anomaly regarding black OM-2n's.
Last week there must have been a convergence of lucky forces and I tracked
down and ordered a pristine black example with genuine leather case and
original Olympus two piece strap. I asked and the vendor exchanged the 50
f1.4 on the body for a 35 f2 with case that he also had (the list in the
last week and especially you John had pointed out the benefits of this
particular lens) and the total cost came out to $250 US which I thought was
a reasonable price for this combo.
It pays to be patient.
