Of course you can't sell anything all day if the price or condition isn't right....but if I want to sell my e99's and e100's that I bought 7-8 yrs ago I can make multiples of what I paid...If I bought some 2 years ago I won't get what I paid. So, definitely it is about timing. As for the E221 and E222...same thing....I am quite sure the 2 E221's I have I can double (or close to double) my money on them....as for the E222's .....probably triple......but I have had them for several years. There is no way to answer the original question unless pricing is also called into play. I am just saying the demand is there (I will buy them if no one else) if the price is right...and I am not talking about giveaways and steals.....Here are the e99's and e100's in my collection with what I paid...
