===Prices in the Wiki===
When taking a look at the prices for used devices, you should also take a look at the timestamps:
* The prices for Single8-cameras dropped significantly in 2007-2009 after Fuji announced to axe its Fujichrome RT200N/R25N by 2010/2012. And the prices for Single8-cameras might decrease even further in the next years.
* The prices for Super8-cameras dropped when Kodak axed the Kodachrome 40 in 2005 and dropped even more when Kodak axed the Ektachrome 100D by the end of 2012. At the end of 2018, a new Ektachrome 100D got introduced. However, due to its high price, it didn't have any effects on the prices (yet?).
* Fuji's and Kodak's announcements also resulted in decreasing prices for splicers, editors, projectors... . However the loss in value is much lower than for cameras. And the prices for "top of the line"-projectors remained stable despite all those bad news. With the introduction of the new Ektachrome 100D in late 2018, it is expected that the prices will stay stable.
* Some prices heavily depend on your location on this planet: E.g. cameras made in the USSR and Czechoslovakia are pretty common (=cheap) in the former [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comecon Comecon]-countries (including the now re-united Germany), while they're pretty rare (=expensive) in the USA and Canada. There are also some Italian or Japanese devices that are nearly unknown outside their countries of origin. Hence sometimes it's much cheaper to buy devices from a seller on another country or even continent than from one in your own country (despite the shipping costs).
* Prices for anamorphic lenses and attachments increased drastically the last years (as most of them could also be used in combination with video-cameras and beamers).
== Updates ==
'''Important update:''' The Super 8 Wiki now contains equipment and information about other [[:Category:Formats|formats]] (i.e. Single8, 16mm, ...) as well, so please check the equipments' categories twice before buying non-super8-devices by mistake.
'''Ebay:''' At the moment, the &lt;ebay&gt;-tags are not working any more. We're working on it. Please neither edit the existing tags/sections/paragraphs, nor manually add links to eBay-auctions!
