Yes, great prices atm. It's 1500€ (incl. VAT) in Switzerland with 2 years full warranty. I don't know why but it's quite an amazing prize.€1380 shipped, as of now!

No I think it’s due to retailers (at least in the USA) selling them in the $1800-2000 range new without really having to try too hard... but then there are cameras like the D750 selling for about $1100-1300 range new as well. The prices of FF are coming down to levels very attainable for many. This was a ~$3k camera 40 months ago... but I paid $2500 for mine in March 2016 from the local dealer that I did quite a bit of business with.€1380 shipped, as of now!

Still a superb camera, now for a bargain price.€1380 shipped, as of now!
I always forget about the apps (outside camera remote) but that’s probably because I never actually used them. Seemed like a nice feature that wasn’t implemented as well as it should’ve been.And...you can run apps on the mark II series! I kept my A7ii just for time lapse and smooth-reflection use.
I guess that’s where relationships with dealers matter a bit. Provided they don’t have an amount of back order and can get products on a regular basis I found dealers that I shop with in person tend to make deals provided it’s not the dealer themselves advertising the lowered prices. Case in point I bought my A7RII at approximately 80% of the new price out the door 7 months after release without any haggling to do.The operative word here is "open market". The price of the A7RII has been tightly controlled by Sony for as long as it was their flagship camera. It is an open secret that discounters could not carry that model. If the price had not been so tightly controlled, it would have been as with any other camera, slowly decreasing with time on market, till fire sales to get rid of the stocks.
Now we are suddenly experiencing the fire sales prices.
Well you could probably still sell and offset the cost of a lens more than likely.Maybe Sony is trying to get as many users into its system before Canon R, Nikon Z and L-mount can get too much traction...
As an A7RII owner thinking about selling to get a Fuji GFX, the message is obvious: forget it!
