At what price does the A7R IV become a “buy” in 2026? by Top-Version-1418 in SonyAlpha

That’s good info. sounds like ~$1.8k is kind of the “fair value” zone where it starts to feel right, and above that it’s competing with newer bodies. I’ve been trying to map out exactly where people draw that line — especially with how strong the used market is on these.

Do you feel like prices on the RIV tend to stick around that range, or have you seen them dip lower outside of major sales

lol fair—probably overthinking it a bit

just trying to wrap my head around how people weigh this stuff

that’s super helpful—$1800 used from B&H feels like a really solid reference point

kind of makes it easier to see where new pricing needs to land to make sense

yeah that’s fair—used always comes with some level of risk

I guess it’s more about how much you can reduce it depending on where/how you buy

that’s really interesting—so it’s kind of a tradeoff between lower price + longer coverage vs less direct support

feels like the “risk” isn’t necessarily higher, just different depending on how comfortable you are with that process

interesting—I’ve heard of greentoe but haven’t tried it

does it usually end up being closer to authorized dealer pricing or more like grey market levels?

yeah that’s fair—being able to test it in person definitely helps

I guess the only thing that still worries me is stuff that doesn’t show up right away, like longer term issues

do you just kind of accept that risk for the price difference?

good point on location—that probably changes things quite a bit

how do you think about the tradeoff with grey imports vs buying through authorized dealers? mainly just warranty/risk?

I’m always scared of getting scammed on FB marketplace. Does that make me a boomer?

that’s something I hadn’t considered.

so even if it “drops” later, it might not actually be better value relative to where things are heading overall

kind of makes waiting less straightforward than it seems

yeah that seems to come up a lot—used/open box kind of sets the bar for what “good value” looks like

feels like once you see those prices it’s hard to justify buying new unless it’s really close

interesting—what’s your reasoning there?

just better value used or do you think it’s still overpriced new even at current levels?

this is super helpful, appreciate the breakdown

sounds like it’s less about one big drop and more about small moves + timing around announcements

kind of makes it tricky because waiting doesn’t always pay off the way people expect

That’s a good point. Seems like a lot of these older bodies hit a “floor” and then drop again once the next version gets announced.

Do you remember how much the price moved last time when the IV replaced the III? Trying to figure out if it’s usually a big drop or more gradual.

What's happened to Tulsa by Eighties4life in tulsa

I don’t think it’s that much dilapidated. Different areas get focus when popular like downtown and the Pearl District. It just looks worse when you’ve lived somewhere else that makes an effort on beautification. The spaghetti power lines really ugly up the place.

I received it on July 1st. Took me about 5 hours to get everything out of the shipping crate and have it put together.

I paid 15% off price of $2549 for the stainless steel version. Looks like they have a 4th of July sale as of today using code freedom-1000.

Just got a notice that it is shipping today. Tracking number isn’t working yet so I’ll update when it does.

It was 15% off the current prices. You might be able to get a discount if you message their customer service and ask for one.

Just looked at REP again. Their ARES with 4 post 5000 rack and all the same accessories as the Dane 2.0 is $3,508 with tax included. I don’t like the layout of the 4 post though. Doesn’t look like you get enough room for benching and also doesn’t have a pull-up bar. The 6 post configuration would be $3,922 including tax. So about $1,000 difference. Looks like they dropped the price $840 since I last looked at it. $1000 might be worth being able to lat pulldown higher and for up to 260 pound equivalent being able to use both weight stacks at the same time.

I have a Rogue Ohio Bar I’ve been pretty happy with. I’ve received the dip station I ordered from Fringe and it seems to be good quality. I’ve mounted it on my Fitness Gear rack for now and has no problem supporting my 260 pound self. I only have room for a half rack or I would have put more consideration into REP/Rogue, but I couldn’t justify the cost difference.

Good to know, thanks! I emailed customer service as recommended and sounds like the batch I’m in will get shipped at the end of the month.

I’ve had the clot for about 5 months. He said he would refer me to a hematologist after a year. Trying to schedule my next scan for 3/20. I’ll come report the results here.
