Oh, I'm a photographer, I get it. But I also feel like there's a reverse-GAS - Gear Disappearance Syndrome? - after rich folks overspend and discover "way more than I need" is also "way more than I want to learn how to use".
I got my D500 that way, actually. Used, but in perfect condition and with a shutter count below 5000 - per the fellow at the used counter, the former owner had said it was 'too much camera for him.' Considering his error got me an effectively new body at 2/3 the new price, I hope rich folks go on making such mistakes for a long time to come!
Oh, don't misunderstand me. I am totally in favor of obscenely rich people buying expensive gear, even if doesn't end up in the used market, they are creating jobs.
