Today, Fujifilm USA began selling its small allotment of Limited Edition X100VI cameras on its website and, despite major hiccups due to a surge in traffic, they sold out in minutes. It did not take long for several of those confirmed pre-orders to show up on eBay.
It's evident that the Fujifilm X100VI is a popular camera and will be challenging to find in-stock for a while. However, the limited-edition version, restricted to just 1,934 units worldwide to mark Fujifilm's founding 90 years ago in 1934, takes that exclusivity up a notch and one person is listing a confirmed order for the special camera on eBay for a shocking $18,000.

Ever since I became a photographer, most of the cameras and lenses I have purchased have been used. Most cameras and lenses only come with one-year warranties (though there are exceptions), and since some used gear sellers offer 6-month warranties, that extra half-year is often not worth the difference (to me). And, of course, some items -- like vintage or discontinued cameras and lenses -- are only available used.
