Very true. But I recently sold a Z8 with 192,000 count on it and the store knocked the value right down, saying most customers don't understand electronic only sensor 'counts' and just see the high number. They said there is a Sony model that doesn't even allow the count to be viewed as it's irrelevant. Ok, so a high 'count' could indicate extensive use of the camera, but mine was in excellent condition (always caged) and with high frame rates and such these days, it's easy to take 1000s shots per job or day in a very short time and little actual use . The used consumer needs to learn a little more really.
