Call me a camera day-trader, a gambler, or speculator, but if a BAT (Border Adjustment Tax Suggested 20% by Paul Ryan) we could see where the price of the M10 suddenly make a big adjustment upward.
Free market, supply and demand, and the value of the dollar certainly could cause the MD and other used camera prices to inflate.
Not really a Black Swan, might not happen, but there are possibilities. A BAT certainly will inflate used camera prices. A BAT is a gamechanger that will definitely effect the value of the dollar and some say it could cause a global recession.

"Some say", that is the important bit here. Some say.
Election night, I stayed up until 3AM watching until the returns were finalized. At that point, Paul Krugman, the NYT's Nobel prize winning economist/political pundit, was already tweeting that the stoock market was going to crash, a very bad crash, but not only that, his immediate judgment was that there was a very good possibility that
"it might never recover".
Never? Yes, so did "some say", but they were not/are not basing it on economics, but on something else entirely.
It was pure politics, as is all this talk about the BAT, the outlines of which have not even been written yet.
Not possible to speculate at this point (well, speculate reasonably, at any rate. Economics is known as "the dismal science" for a reason.
At 3AM, I went online and placed "buy" trades with every bit of uninvested capital I owned. It was hardly a gamble; some things are just that obvious if looked at unemotionally.
No, I don't want to turn this to a political discussion; more along the lines of discouraging thinking which needlessly, perhaps, buys trouble. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
