That was a good deal. The lens is worth at least $250, and the metered prism is worth about $150 in its somewhat beatup condition. That means you'd be getting the body for about fifty bucks. I almost bid on this myself as a backup, but I just plunked down big bucks for new furnaces and air

I would list each item separately. List the camera body with a reserve of $300 (US). List the metering prism with a reserve of $175, and list the lens with a reserve of $250. That will give you a total price of $725, which is more than you could get for the package. Paul Stenquist Chris Brogden
