How low will the price of a One MX or Scarlet MX drop after release of the Raven?

[Nathan Wold]

Watching the marketplace here and on ebay, used Red One MXs are going for really cheap now - sometimes as low as $2,500 for a kit. And the Scarlet MXs are going for as low as $4,500 for a brain.

When the Raven (and new Scarlet) is fully released, the market will be flooded with people selling their old R1MXs and Scarlet MXs. Particularly now that the Raven is $6k for most of the capabilities of the R1 and Scarlet MX, how low do you think the prices will go on the old cameras?

I don't know if prices will necessarily get much lower or people will just keep their cameras. The ammount of people trying to flog MX kits, I can't remember the last time I looked in the market place and saw one that actually sold. People seem to be having a hard time selling Epic kits.

I am curious about the cost of Scarlet Dragon once Scarlet-W is in the wild though.

If kits are rarely selling and people are having a hard time getting them sold, then true prices of what they might sell for probably are even lower than advertised!

This guy locally has been trying to sell a Scarlet MX kit for NZ$16K (US$11.5K) for ages with no luck:
