Fuji X Series

Pleasantly surprised by the X-S10 from CEX so far, little paint chipping away on the bottom but otherwise fully boxed with all accessories present.

Need to do some proper testing still to make sure no issues but happy for what I paid for it.

Trying my luck with a used X100VI again. Bagged this for £1825: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126552798834

So I broke down the value:
£1600 - X100VI
£100 - Tiffen 49mm Glimmer Glass 1
£60 - PRF-49S official filter
£50 - small rig bits
£70 - LH-X100 lens hood.
£45 - NP-W126S
£40 - BC-W126S charger

so £1,965 not including the case and various straps. Will come with a printed invoice from Wex for warranty and only 325 shots.

The Glimmer glass is $50 + shipping from B&H.

I dunno why, Tiffen filters are so much cheaper there.

I’m still going to get the XT 5. Just don’t know when. It’s too expensive at the mo.

yeah but they have been holding their value superbly well on the used market for 6+ months so you could have bought a used one, used it all winter, spring and summer and sold it for almost no loss.

Definitely a seller’s market for Fuji users right now. I sold my 16-55 and 50-140 a couple of weeks ago for around the same price I paid for them 3.5 years ago (actually made about £30 on the 16-55) and they saw their fair share of work in that time as well.
 
Just wanted some advice. Had a play at House of Fujifilm in London yesterday and since decided to sell my X-T30 II and buy the X-T50. Not interested in the X-T5, I much prefer the portability and design of the smaller X-Txx series.

Are there any deals on these at the moment? Otherwise I think I’ll just buy it from the usual reputable places with peace of mind I have warranty and guarantee (I used E-Infin for lenses but not buying a camera from there).

Also what is the best way to sell my X-T30 II. It’s very good condition and was serviced yesterday at Fujifilm at the expense of £40. I guess could through it on here in the MM but wondering if it’s all worth the hassle vs just selling it to one of the camera shops… any thoughts?

Cheers

P.S. Also LOVE the new 33mm so extremely tempted to treat myself to that as well.

It took nearly two months but I finally received my XF 70-300MM. If the cashback claim goes through will cost me just under £600.
@Barks Is that a walk in service centre and was it at the store in London or Fixation?

It was the House of Fujifilm store in Covent Garden. I emailed ahead and they said they can usually accommodate walk ins during the week but best to make an appointment for a weekend visit. Dropped my kit off when they opened and it was ready 2 hours later. They also did 4 of my lenses for £10 each.

Do you know what they did to them? That’s a great price!

The main issue was spots on my images above F4 and they’re no longer there so the sensor cleaning has worked wonders. As for the lenses, I’m not entirely sure, I hope they did more than just clean the front element! They’re all looking fairly immaculate including the rear element.

If you want the most for it then you're only option is eBay. I've probably sold 95% of my gear over the years through eBay and I have no real complaints. The time I ever had an issue was when Royal Mail kindly lost my X-T4 (it turned up 14 weeks later thankfully!).
Other than that, you could maybe go round the stores (WEX, Jessops, LCE to name a few) and see what they would give you for your X-T30ii as trade in against the 50.
