I've been keeping track of 1050 sales for about 5 years now, and since January, at least 5 have sold on ebay for $1000 or less.
There is some huge downward pressure right now from Mark 7 reloding's machines being on the market and 1050 users dumping their old machines.
Likewise, 1050s are much more prevalent in places like Craigslist and local ads.
WOOOHOOO!! Never been a better time to scoop up a 1050 for a good price.

I sure hope so. From 2012 to 2017 or so, 1050s for less than $1300 were pretty rare and took a lot of work to find and buy. Ebay 1050s were normally in the 1400-1600 range.
In the last year I've bought 3 1050s for under 1000, and they all came with multiple tool heads and parts/etc.
Ultimately, in 10 years or so when I retire, I'd really like to have 10 to 12 1050s. That'll be a lot easier if they're readily available for +-50% or less of the retail price.
