Yea used prices are high at the moment so that's a good price in the current climate.
MPB for example will pay £460.00 for a like new X-T30. So you're getting it below trade in prices!

I've only done a cursory search elsewhere but £449 (+10% off?) is an absolute steal.
I would certainly have no issues with refurbished - it's a much better option than straight up second hand IMO. You still get 12 month warranty with Fuji which is good.
Yeah had a look on eBay and looks really good price, especially seeing how I'll get 10% back on AMEX.
Thinking of pairing it with a refurbished XC 35mm for £129 and then looking for 55-200mm on somewhere like MPB, should cover me nicely for what I want to shoot.
Definitely not fussed about refurbished and by the sounds of it will be good as new anyway.
I wouldn't wait long, they sell out quick on Fuji refurbished and they are slow to restock.
I've snapped one up. I've been watching used X-E3s go for near this on eBay but couldn't justify the cost. This is a great price for direct from Fuji.
In terms of lens I really liked the 33mm 1.4 but it is a little large, need to think about what I want.

I didn't, X-T30 with XC 35mm on the way from them and just as if by magic a good condition 55-200mm popped up on MPB after lunch for £219.
Seems a lot cheaper than other good condition ones but couldn't see anything obviously wrong with it and nothing in description so see what turns up.

DPD made a bit of a mess of my delivery with both MPB and Fuji but had a quick look and X-T30 looks as new as well as XC 35mm, just in black Fuji boxes labeled as refurbished.
As far as 55-200 goes, I think MPB made a mistake with a price, clean glass on both ends and few tiny marks on the barrel? No idea why they would list that at only £219 in "good" condition.
AMEX also "refunded" me 10% of the order as soon as payment came out of pending, thought I'd have to wait until next statement for cashback so chuffed to say the least.

Best price I've been offered for my X-T4 was £850, was hoping it would be more than that to offset the X-T5 . Guess I'll stick with my X-T4 for now then.

Curious how the x-5 looks against the canon r7. Fuji lacked top end AF in previous models which I am more interested in given any modern sensors tend to be more than good enough.
Was that as a trade in with one of the retailers or private sale?
I’d be hoping to fetch a bit more than that for my 4 via private sale

Could go eBayThat was mbp, Wex was even lower
It probably says more about my expectations of these sites but that’s about what I expected them to offer - if not a little higher!That was mbp, Wex was even lower
I use them extensively for buying used gear but have never once sold/traded anything with them.
I know they’re running a business but the valuations are just laughable sometimes.
I’m an experienced ebayer so I’m happy to sell there - I appreciate some aren’t so keen.

Thanks for that, will probably hold onto the X-T4 for now till there are more reviews out for it but I've got plenty of other stuff to sell so will use that over the weekendCould go eBay
