Assuming the manufacturer made a good product, you help the seller to finance buying an upgraded camera. Not as nice as selling two new camera but better than selling none.

Respectful question.  When I buy a used GM, Ford, or Chrysler
automobile, how much does that help the manufacturer today?
Aftermarket parts are profitable, I agree.

But if I can purchase a used camera/car at 1/2 price, will I ever make
up the difference in parts?

Pentax is onto a money maker.

This is kinda the conundrum with camera makers these days. They put as nice a 
camera on the market as they can, and people will refuse to buy it until the 
price comes down 50%.
It's like we want them to go out of business.

Sounds like a lot of camera for 9400 retail. But only ISO 1600 max
sensitivity. Same metering system as K7, which is a plus. I want one, but
I'm going to wait until it's available used for 4K.


We don't?

I don't. But I'm not going to go broke trying to support them. That would be 
ridiculous.

However, getting on board in the resell market is a plus for a manufacturer, 
because they sell lenses. Plus, providing a secondary market makes the deal 
better for the original investors. HIgh resale value is a plus for any marketer.
