Old cameras are a financial scam.

A few years ago, I randomly picked up a discarded CCD camera for 100 bucks. Now it's been hyped up to over a thousand, a tenfold increase.
A regular Canon bought for just over 2,000 six years ago now fetches nearly 4,000 on the secondhand market, with gains directly crushing gold. Even the notoriously anti-user Nintendo 3DS has been artificially driven up threefold.
What kind of retro sentiment is this? CCD's low-resolution, rough image quality is essentially just a cheap physical skin-smoothing filter.
I'm used to seeing all kinds of capital manipulation schemes in the market. Old electronic products are definitely prime targets for market control.
Stockpiled and rigid, they are very easy to monopolize. Using low prices as an anchor, then adding a wave of nostalgia filters from social media. This logic of packaging worthless industrial waste as financial products is no different from炒空气币 (aircoin speculation) and harvesting retail investors.
You think you're buying rare, limited editions. In reality, you're just taking on the financial freedom of the merchants at a high point.
What was the most expensive digital junk you paid a "IQ tax" for back in the day?
