As a current R owner, but also someone who has been monitoring the used market for Rs (friends were interested after playing with mine + gaining interest on their own to replace or expand on their DSLRs), I would say the used market holds very strong for the R.
At least strong enough to make acquiring a used R not a very wise proposition vs. this refurbs that are checked to be practically new in operation and covered both by 1y warranty and a satisfaction/return warranty.
Sure, tax goes ontop of these prices when you buy from Canon, but in general used prices right now are up there. Very few will jump on cameras with 2-3x the cost and fire-sale their Rs to the extend of saturating the used market -> driving prices down...I am 100% sure used Rs will be snatched relatively fast, as its the case for lenses etc. It is the newest system in the block, and supply in the used market is pretty low, and will stay low. Remember, "R" people are also people that shell serious $ for RF lenses and the such: rarely hurting for a few $100 to discount on their stuff. And if they are going for a new R6/R5, they won't going to bundle sale lots of stuff - which is usually your best bet to get a good start in the R system for "cheaper" (its never cheap).
I would say there are better chances of you getting good deals in mid-range DSLRs, i.e. what ppl be replacing jumping on the MILC / "R" train for the first time, than for used Rs.

You are right. Personally I'm in no hurry to upgrade from my 70d, so will wait for the inevitable sale on R and RP.
I'm only an enthusiast, so will mostly use EF lenses.
