Get a roll of film and use it !
You own the ultimate in rangefinder camera design and you're not using it. I don't understand. The XPAN makes nearly every other camera look and feel like a silly toy.
For those with inquiring minds, here's a link:
Hasselblad X-Pan Made by Fuji for Hasselblad.
Those who own Fuji X digital camera will see some styling similarities.
The Fuji-branded model is the T-X1.
It's an interesting camera.
Your right but digital has taken up all my creative time, and who can process and print double framed images.

You could scan your negatives/transparencies and work with the digital files, but I suspect you've already done that. Cool camera though. The decision is yours. Surely someone out there wants one.
Ebay lists a few for sale for well over $1k , but not sure what they are actually going for.

3 years ago I put mine on e-bay--got $1750 for it with only one lens. I had a second lens I also sold on e-bay--don't remember what I got but it was over $500.

I think you're answering your own question by saying all your creative time is taken up by digital. If it were me, I'd sell it and put the proceeds toward a new lens for my d610.
I sold my xPan a few years back because digital accounted for most of my time with photography. It went to a good home in Spain. It was a great camera and the images were just beautiful. It was a Hasselblad with a 45 mm lens and a 90 mm lens. Sold it on eBay, with the stipulation that it would be shipped US only. A man from Spain would not take no for an answer, he just kept bidding and finally won. So off to Spain it went. My digital photography is great, and would not go back to film.

I had an XPan but after a while I realized that I could do digitally anything that any of my film cameras could do so I sold all of my film cameras. The XPan sells for premium prices and the lenses sell very well. Check prices that these cameras and lenses sell for on Ebay, they are quite high.
