I don't think it's just the OM market. A friend and I were looking at quite
a few cameras on eBay and shocked at how few bids -- especially ones list in
UK pounds. I think the used market itself is a little soft -- perhaps
because of the economy slowing down?
I was thinking about getting rid of my XA/XA3/A11 because I'm so enamoured
by my new Minox GT-S/FC-S, but it hardly seems worth it given what people
seem to be willing to pay. I couldn't even get 20 quid for the XA3 alone on
eBay and/or usenet. Funny old world, as they say.
