I'm surprised at how frequently dealers have used RF lenses and R bodies for sale. It seems like at least once a week or more CPW will have a new listing of used R system equipment either from major retailers like B&H and Adorama or from one of the major used dealers like MPB.
Of course the prices are high. The used equipment is often listed for only about $50 or so below new, but I do wonder who is trading in this recently released equipment? For example, I just saw a hard to find 100-500 listed from MPB.
KEH has a used 14-35 f4 (at least they did a few minutes ago).
As someone who keeps his equipment far longer than I probably should, I can't imagine getting a lens like the 100-500 or the 14-35 and immediately trading it in. Especially knowing that the sellers have to be taking a big hit on the lenses and bodies. Looking at the used watch list, just in the past three days there were 11 RF lenses listed.
