M2 Sales \ Auctions

Hello all.

Seems like every other week another FZ-35s or 55 is popping up for sale. Any thoughts (besides the economy) why the rash of sales recently? It is not like the M2 has a new version coming out or anything like that.

I just have found this a bit odd.

 

It's a collecting cycle.

Economy was good.
Lots of people bought the systems.
Lots of people realized that they can't do shit with the systems.
Economy is bad.
People need money.
People sell systems that they can't do anything with.

Only one 55 came up for sale. I listed it because I wanted to see what it would do, not because I made a foolish purchasing decision. ;-)

Also, there have only been 2 35's come up for sale. One CIB, and another one loose which was listed twice. I know the seller of the CIB unit, and he was just dumping some stuff he had lying around.

Three units, unless I missed something.

 

There is an M2 fz 21 dev kit up on ebay right now

 

Why don't you link to it in the proper eBay thread?

 

Here are links to 2 different Ebay sales

FZ-DR21

 

It's nothing exciting.

Just one of Ling Jr's eternally overpriced auctions.

Ya, what's up with that dude? Ling.Jr always has these ridiculously stupid price tiers.

 

Good points on why these are showing up more and more... Guess it is not the time to put mine up at all

 

I still turned a profit on that unit tbh, though it did end alot lower than the recent non-cib one. Times are tough so offloading alot of stuff that I don't really touch

The shipping to germany for the guy who bought it was nearly as much as he paid for it since he wanted fedex.

 

Unemployed for a few months and hitting walls, trust me I'm sure I'll regret it down the line. I literally bought it for $50 in 2006 though, just checked my email to make sure I was remembering that correctly.

I was hoping to atleast hit $300 after the last one showed people were actually interested in them now but oh well.

From what I can remember the prices that M2 hardware is reaching now is pretty high compared to what they previously fetched though, I really didn't keep an eye on them after I got mine but I don't remember them ever fetching very much, which I imagine is partially due to the software rarely showing up

 

Wasn't aware to be honest, live and learn

just to verify cuz I know the original non-photocopied manual doesn't show up too often, there are full scans already right?

 

mainly just asking on the manual because I could still do new scans if the existing ones are missing pages

 

I don't think I've owned a single pair of nike shoes since I was in middle school
