Following the posts last week on my boxed unused *ist D, I decided to watch a few eBay auctions and then put it up as a buy it now, when I got a feel for the prices they achieved. I expected more positive prices this side of Xmas but the selling prices left me disappointed. I've therefore decided to keep it, prices after Xmas will surely be worse. It's a matter of changing my view on how I think about digital cameras. I suppose I am so used to buying a second hand film camera, using it for a few years and selling it on at more or less the same price as I bought it, that it stings. If I view it the same way as a computer, washing machine or similar domestic appliance purchase, I accept from the outset that it's expensive but will ultimately be an item for recycling. Once you accept that's where digital cameras now fit in in the scheme of things, you can settle back and accept it - and enjoy them. So that's what I plan to do and I now have a new camera for Xmas. The K10D will have to sit on the shopping list a little longer! I hope you all have a peaceful Xmas.

Re: *ist DS selling price (Beware Nigerian Scammers)
Another note: the top bidder sent me an email asking me to send the camera to Nigeria, offering to send me $120 extra to send it. I then received a fake PayPal payment email. I reported it to eBay and sent him an email informing him that I would not send the camera to Nigeria, and that I would not accept any money that he paid me. I've made a Second Chance offer to the next highest bidder ($496.00). Hope it works out! -- Cheers, [EMAIL PROTECTED] MichaelHamilton.ca -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

I set the minimum bid at $250, with a Buy-It-Now price of $450. After the minimum bid was met, the BIN price disappeared. It's certainly better than the $150 that my local camera shop offered me.

Good move and great price sold for.

Excellent. Used DSLR selling prices are holding up better than I expected.

You've given me hope. Maybe I should talk to the CFO here at the house and explain that I could get maybe half of the cost of a K10D back by selling my existing one Then again, I'd probably end up getting a max bid of $200. :-( Did you set some sort of minimum, or did you just put it up there and hope for the best? -Charles -- Charles Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
