I wouldn’t be a buyer at retail, or anywhere close to it. But, one never knows how things will go. We don’t know how many of them were sold or how the future demand for the Resonance might be given the new 2020 Resonance. It’s possible that this 24hr Resonance is one of the most limited runs (maybe less than the Ruthinium which trades strongly although it does have other features collectors seek).

This years resonance was not an easy one to source as allocation sold out many months ago... it will definitely be more limited than the Ruthenium resonance, and as a 1 year model, is sure to do well in the future, especially with the new Resonance likely to be priced higher at retail than the current version.
This will help lift the aftermarket prices of all Resonances. To be honest, any Resonance at $45-50K in the aftermarket is a steal... so much watch for the $. For most collectors, the Resonance is the #1 or #2 most important FPJ to own, so if you get a chance to add one, do it :)
