Mike Did they quote a trade in at $3200 or a market price of $3200. The prior deal at Dale was 80% of FMV . I watched this closely and I thought david got the market price exactly right. The 20% protected him on differences in condition etc and his margin came on the new body. Good strategy if you want to avoid selling it yourself .trade in for my M8.2 was $3200...it was like brand new with all the boxes ect.
Thanks Mike ..Roger, David said trade in to me would be around 3200 I actually made the deal prior to my coversation with David I already committed to Camera West for$3000.
No one is "forced" to do anything unless they are desperate for money or don't care about money. One is a victim of their own "Wants 'n Gimmes", the other has so much money that it doesn't matter.Ranger - pretty interesting read. thanks
However we also have to note the supply and demand. Sellers can ask whatever they want for it but it doesn't mean that buyers will buy it. if buyers don't buy, then sellers will be forced to lower their price. at the same time sellers would start offering M8s at fire sale prices to be able to afford M9 thus lowering the market value of the M8s. I remember this happened when D300 came out. Value of D200 dropped overnight.
so it would be interesting to see what happens to current M8 and M8.2 prices in a month or so
Well said!As I process last weeks' work load, I'm reminded that the M8 is an extraordinary image maker ... which has nothing to do with internet chatter and wishful thinking, and everything to do with making photographs. The M8 didn't suddenly lose that ability overnight.
