Ha, I just posted that question in post 1331, but you'd have to read
through a bunch of reflective ramblings about the T221 to find it. :)
GM in Detroit had 125 Viewsonics coming off their 3 year lease, so I
am assuming that all the car designers have them, all
airplane/military design/engineers have them, etc. An exact number
would be nice, too.
The reason the price drop is IMO, T.C. and Troyvfw are both companies
that got a bunch of off-lease lots. I suspect we will see DG5s do the
same thing in a year or two. Right now they are at a premium and they
will always go for more, but depending on how many actually sold will
determine how flooded the market becomes when they start coming off
lease from these big companies that donate them to do tax write-offs.
I think the prices depend heavily on how many are selling on ebay.
People recently have become accustomed to seeing several posted each
week with no need to wait for the next listing. It's when there is a
delay for the next unit is when they will go back up in value
eventhough they are getting older and are discontinued. They are
unique and there are no other alternatives. IMO, now is the time to
buy if you are wanting a DG1 to DG4. If you want a DG5 then second
half 2006 and first half of 2007 are going to be the years for DG5s on
ebay. I could be wrong, but it seems that is what is taking place.
It's not individuals selling them. It's two people selling dozens of
them and individuals buying them. You ask a good question as to how
flooded is the market, and specifically how many end of lease deals
are going to take place.
