Boris, I agree with Peter as to your asking price, at least here in the U S of A.
I recently sold to KEH, a pristine K-10 with under 3 K shutter actuations, in the original box with all that came in the box and no signs of usage at all - they gave me $61 USD ! I had previously advertised it at $125 and got no response. I only sold it to them cause I have another backup camera and wanted to clear some things out. -----Original Message----- >From: Boris Liberman <bori...@gmail.com> >Subject: Re: FS Friday > >I hear you, Peter. > >Sad, but you're probably right. > >Ok, wise and venerable people of PDML - make me a fair* offer.
