The launch of the special edition Taylor Swift Instax cameras was one of the most memorable of the many camera launches at the last-ever Photokina trade show back in 2018. The new model was a customized version Instax SQ6 square-format instant camera that Fujifilm had previously launched. The camera was designed by the pop sensation herself, with a gold-colored newspaper pattern on a black base, and a  reproduction of Taylor Swift's autograph on the back

The camera sold for US$179.99 when it went on sale a month later. But now we have spotted that the same camera has been traded at ten times that amount - with people willing to pay US$1,800 for a mint version of this square-format instant camera, according to a completed eBay listing.
