* The prices for Super8-cameras dropped when Kodak axed the Kodachrome 40 in 2005 and dropped significantly when Kodak axed the Ektachrome 100D by the end of 2012.

* Since then the prices for splicers, editors, ... also dropped a little bit. However the prices for the "top of the line"-projectors remained stable.

There are also some Italian or Japanese devices that are nearly unknown elsewhere. Hence sometimes it's much cheaper to buy devices from a seller on another continent than from one in your own country (despite the shipping costs).
