Inventory value and sales prices are not calculated using spot exchange rates so.

There is a refurbished sale at Nikon for the next 2 days. It was 4 days total. Z8 a thousand dollars off if you want a refurbished oneI recently sold a Canon R5 in anticipation of the R5 MK II before the used prices of them really dropped..OK, its gone. The newer model was not what I was expecting and decided to jump ship..(I am still awaiting a Canon 200-800MM since last November...). So,I had decided on the Z-8 and an adapter for my ef lenses and will sell the RF Lens...My question is simply does anyone have any idea when Nikon has any major sales, or do I have to wait for Black Friday...? I had put a Z8 and 70-120 (I think) NIkkor lens in my cart (BestBuy), then I had surgery on my left hand, by the time I got back to my cart, it was regularly priced 700.00 higher..My fault, but now I cant bring myself to paying the 700.00 mistake premium!!
@BarryR respnded to that earlier in the thread. See post #18There is a refurbished sale at Nikon for the next 2 days. It was 4 days total. Z8 a thousand dollars off if you want a refurbished one
FYI - my refurbished Z8 bought in February from Nikon had an actuation count of 5 and was in new condition. I suspect it was not sold earlier because its serial number was among a large batch of those subject to the two early advisories. I'm guessing it took time for Nikon to work through the backlog to correct any deficiencies before putting them on sale as refurbs. I have no regrets.3656.95 is ludicrous for the same camera they were selling for over a month at 3295.99...I did see the two refurbished on their site, but I'm not comfortable buying refurbished, especially at re-sale time...Refurbished to me is the same as used and buying used if not below at least half off the original price, I pass..Just me, I guess...Sony was the same way on their A7Rv is 400 higher now than it was a week ago..Now the Canon R5Mkii at 4300.00 is well just about the outrages mark..I will do without, I refuse to pay these prices...But, thank-you !!!!

It sounds like the r5ii is the better solution objectively, once you get over whatever is making you angry. Running 2 brands can be a pain, though people do it. They added the cooling vents to reduce overheating and introduced active cooling in one of the grips. You need the new batteries.
Over the last few months, one dollar has fallen from about 161 yen to today's 144 yen, about a 10% drop. So maybe the recent price increase of some Nikon products was to absorb some of this loss in revenue?As what...¿.

To each his own.Im happy for ya, really...I would not be happy with a refurbished/used...with the caveat of the price(s) wanted for it..
I posted this on another thread. Nikon Japan reports that the price increase for the 180-600 lens (and a few other products) is meant to offset rising raw material, manufacturing, and logistics costs. These increased costs may be related to exchange rate fluctuation over the past quarter or two, but the announcement is silent on that issue.Over the last few months, one dollar has fallen from about 161 yen to today's 144 yen, about a 10% drop.

The price increase in the USA was $200. I suspect there’s enough elasticity of demand that unit sales won’t be overly affected. I don’t know what the increase was (or will be) in other countries.Something tells me when the 180-600 sales tank they will run a "Sale" ...
Thanks! I am sure there are many considerations in pricing goods for a large international company like Nikon. Supply and demand, price of materials, etc as you noted. My dad had a small business and would import raw materials from other countries but sell in the US so currencies made a difference in the cost of the imported materials. And the worst thing is for plants to sit idle. Or have finished goods piling up in the supply chain. If one can wait, then one can grab the occasional sales as a company tried to even out its product and demand. However there is a cost of waiting, which is not having the camera to take pics in the wait time.I posted this on another thread.
