If there were enough people like us who value Olympus cameras, the price
would rise as less and less equipment became available on the market-new and
used. However, if enough of us gave up, the price would fall and I would be
able to fill my desires for less money. Just the economist in me coming
out.

I am not a collector of things so I do not know the psychology that
applies but if Oly did announce the end, would the price of used stuff
rise or fall.
My guess is that it would plummet as people panicked unnecessarily and
desperately off loaded their gear then much later prices might rise due to
collectability. Or would people no longer collect?
