I think, no I know, your both wrong as stated. Supply and demand always determines price/value. What neither of you stated is that for a a discontiued lens the supply is fixed and it doesn't matter how common or rare it is really, if its fixed and the demand goes down than the price goes down. I say Herb is wrong because the rarity doesn't matter as long as supply isnt changing and it isnt and I say John is wrong because hes saying supply is irrelant if there is no demand which is true but not applicable to this situation because demand has not become zero, its just gone down some and supply isnt irrelavant UNLESS there is zero demand.
Bottom line is that price changes in no longer produced lenses like this is directly related to current demand. Rare or common has no effect on price.... There is one other factor, inflation, which isnt really a change in value over time, just a change in the currency's value used to buy them... jco -----Original Message----- From: John Forbes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2005 7:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Sensors That Shift? One was on Ebay UK recently. It failed to attract any bids, although the starting price was not that high. Rarity has no bearing on the matter at all; supply is irrelevant if there is no demand.
