I was alluding that comment by John in my original post. 

Whether camera bodies or lenses, I suppose everyone wants to find those
lightly used ones that have been hidden away....
May be hard to tell from eb*y descriptions though.

John has said in the past that he has plenty of OM-2/2n parts available
so 1's and 2's are repairable for a long time to come.  OM-4/4T's will
likely become orphaned when the limited number of replacement circuits
runs out.  That said, there are probably still plenty of 4/4T's sitting
on shelves at home totally unused for many years.  There are 8 for sale
on ebay right now.
