Ho ho ... years ago, I bought a Sigma DP2 Merrill ("huge" 45MP raw files) and dutifully down-loaded their proprietary converter to my 32-bit one-core HP machine running the wonderful Windows XP. Adjusted something and waited a minute or so for it to show up in the Review window. I am not one to rush to latest OS just because someone wrote something that slows it to a crawl, so I sold the camera.

I sold it yesterday because I don’t see a reason to keep it for my own use case.

Because it's a beautiful work of modern art. It really is beautiful. Combined with a couple of Sigma's small i? series primes, it would make a gorgeous, capable, take out to dinner or take away with you on holiday camera.

Can one buy expensive cameras like this without taking a big hit? I dont think I would chance it, as I am not good at selling things!

It depends on the camera. I could sell my X100VI for what I paid for it.

It depends on what you paid and demand for second hand.
It’s possible, but I don’t think there’s the same level of craze for RF.

I have a DP1 Merrill and used it with a Dell W7 desktop. I remember those 1 minute plus waits to edit a photo. Always figured it was faster than when I developed film in the darkroom 😀. It is a strange, but lovable, camera. Never knew what results I'd get. Sometimes absolutely amazing, other times totally off the track. When I got the Pentax 645Z everything changed. Much higher quantity of wow shots. The poor DP1 is just sitting on the shelf. Need to get it out and have a go. Sure is smaller and lighter than the Z.
Thanks,
