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. And the prices for Super8-cameras might decrease even further in the next years.
+
* 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.
+
* 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).
