Hello all.
Seems like every other week another FZ-35s or 55 is popping up for sale. Any thoughts (besides the economy) why the rash of sales recently? It is not like the M2 has a new version coming out or anything like that.
I just have found this a bit odd.
It's a collecting cycle.
Economy was good.
Lots of people bought the systems.
Lots of people realized that they can't do shit with the systems.
Economy is bad.
People need money.
People sell systems that they can't do anything with.
;)

Yep.
Now is the time to buy, when foolish purchases ripen on the vine for picking by the savvy.

Also, there have only been 2 35's come up for sale. One CIB, and another one loose which was listed twice. I know the seller of the CIB unit, and he was just dumping some stuff he had lying around.
Three units, unless I missed something.
There is an M2 fz 21 dev kit up on ebay right now
Why don't you link to it in the proper eBay thread?

It's nothing exciting.
Just one of Ling Jr's eternally overpriced auctions. ;)

Ya, what's up with that dude? Ling.Jr always has these ridiculously stupid price tiers.
At least he makes the nuclear option available to the rich.
His business relies on people making...impulse purchases.
Good points on why these are showing up more and more... Guess it is not the time to put mine up at all
$220 for a boxed fz-35? What a joke.
Buy low, sell high. Now would be the time to buy, not sell.
I still turned a profit on that unit tbh, though it did end alot lower than the recent non-cib one. Times are tough so offloading alot of stuff that I don't really touch
The shipping to germany for the guy who bought it was nearly as much as he paid for it since he wanted fedex.

Seriously, in good times that would have been a $500 item or more.
Why sell now?
Unemployed for a few months and hitting walls, trust me I'm sure I'll regret it down the line. I literally bought it for $50 in 2006 though, just checked my email to make sure I was remembering that correctly.
I was hoping to atleast hit $300 after the last one showed people were actually interested in them now but oh well.panasonic 3DO M2 FZ-35S prototype machine complete rare
Sale price: $50.00
From what I can remember the prices that M2 hardware is reaching now is pretty high compared to what they previously fetched though, I really didn't keep an eye on them after I got mine but I don't remember them ever fetching very much, which I imagine is partially due to the software rarely showing up
I can understand the hardship.
You probably could have sold the box alone for $150.
Wasn't aware to be honest, live and learn
just to verify cuz I know the original non-photocopied manual doesn't show up too often, there are full scans already right?

Manual isn't a biggie. As a package it's nice. I'd say you got good money for the times we're in.
I'm looking to get a final version system for my collection, all I have is beta hardware.
mainly just asking on the manual because I could still do new scans if the existing ones are missing pages
I don't think I've owned a single pair of nike shoes since I was in middle school
