Scalpers Possibly Grabbed 92% of Limited Edition Fujifilm X100VI Cameras in USA thanks to This Bot

A FR-reader found some clues as far as the bot goes that people used to purchase multiple Fujifilm X100VI limited edition.

The scalpers seem to indicate in their Discord server that their checkout software (bot) secured 92% of orders on day 1.

This assertion appears credible, especially considering the notifications of successful purchases visible in the Discord server. In fact, as shown by the video below, hundreds of X100VI LE units seem to have been ordered through this bot.

One guy claims that he was able to grab four X100VI LE and he was planing to snatch a 5th model (screenshot above).

Also, below I will share a video that shows which software was used and how it works.

The video shows the time stamp of when those hundreds of orders were placed (for March 21/22). As far as the order for March 23 goes, I share them as screenshot here and here.

My hope is that the time stamp will help Fujifilm to track down every single scalper, cancel their order and find a better way to distribute the X100VI LE to make sure it falls into the hands of enthusiasts and not scalpers.

Fuji Guy Billy: “I Can See the Fujifilm X-Pro Moving into 5th Gen, but it Needs Something Special”, Talking X100VI, X-T40, Future Lenses & More

Vistek just hosted a Fujifilm X Summit After Show with Fuji Guy Billy.

They talk of course mainly about the Fujifilm X100VI, but also about other stuff, such as which lenses Fuji Guy Billy thinks Fujifilm should do in future, he talks a bit about the Fujinon XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 (which thanks to our sources we have leaked here) and also talked about what he thinks about an eventual Fujifilm X-T30II successor (which we started leaking here) and the long awaited Fujifilm X-Pro4 (which we started leaking here).

Message to Source Who Shared X100VI Images (and More) with Me

Message to Readers 1: I know you don’t like these posts. But I have no other way to hope to get this message out to the anonymous source (with nickname), other than making a public post.

Message to Source:

This message comes after a couple of weeks you’ve shared the rumors with me, because I wanted the X100VI buzz to settle down a bit and give this article more chances to be seen by you.

First off thanks. Thanks for sharing. Not only the images of X100VI, but also the rest.

In total you have shared 3 rumors, and only two of them made it online before the X100VI announcement. So I’d like to explain what happened on my side:

Fujifilm X100VI Limited Edition for Sale at $18,000

If you thought you’ve seen it all in terms of overpriced X100 cameras, then check out this.

You can now find the limited edition Fujifilm X100VI listed for the ridiculous price of $18,000 on eBay.

I am not sure if and how that guy got his hands on the limited edition X100VI. The screenshots show the order was placed at a “Fujifilm House of Photography”.

As far as I know, only the Fujifilm House of Photography in Australia was accepting “orders” here. However, when you placed your order, you’d simply join a lottery that grants you the chance to buy the limited edition camera if you’re fortunate enough to be selected.

The winners were selected on February 28 and they had 24 hours to confirm their order, which would explain why the order was placed on February 29. So maybe this seller was among the winners selected by the Australian House of Photography and now he wants to resell it for $18,000. Strange thing is that this unit is shipping from USA apparently. So I don’t know how this guy was able to enter the Australian ballot or why he is shipping it out now from USA and not Australia.

Anyway, the Fujifilm X100VI really seems to be a prime target for scalpers (even more so the limited edition X100VI).

And yet, I hope that the prediction many stores have made is accurate (shipping all preorders within 3-5 months). This would mean that by mid-late summer all those scalpers will sit on those X100VI boxes and will have to sell them at a loss.
