Lower than a month after its announcement, the Fujifilm X100VI is in ridiculously excessive demand. The digital camera has already been back-ordered at B&H Photograph and Adorama (the latter of which predicts a June restock date), and consumers and sellers are turning to eBay.

An eBay consumer referred to as elar-9021 briefly tried to promote a “confirmed order” for a Fujifilm X100VI Restricted Version digital camera for a whopping $18,000. As first reported by Fuji Rumors, the vendor claimed to have bought the digital camera from the Fujifilm Home of Pictures for a worth censored out of the receipt.

The itemizing has since disappeared, however different sellers asking barely extra modest costs (in relative phrases) are making precise gross sales. A search of bought objects on eBay reveals that, on the time of this writing, two cameras have bought for a worth in extra of $4,000.

Accomplished eBay listings for the X100VI in restricted version and non-limited varieties.

Different sellers are attempting to make a fast buck by promoting the common mannequin for $3,000 or extra (listing worth $1,599). A number of declare that the digital camera is “in hand,” which is feasible for the reason that X100VI is now delivery in small batches.

We’ll possible by no means know the story of the $18,000 X100VI Restricted Version now that the profiteer vendor has eliminated the itemizing. Your probability to pay a 1000% markup could also be gone, however a 100% markup remains to be very a lot on the menu.
