Good question, the people I bought my 21 ltd. and Tamron 90 macro from were both switching to other brands. My 90 macro came from a guy who's brother wanted to have them use the same systems for help carrying lenses on outings, two people, one set of lenses, and actually bought him a base Nikon system. The 21 came from a guy who was also switching to Nikon , but keeping some of his Pentax gear.
But, this only goes one way. I usually don't sell a lot of stuff, if you're selling stuff you meet people who are buying into Pentax, if you are buying stuff, you meet some people who're getting out. Although most of my second hand purchases were from people staying with the brand.
