Help! Selling equipment, cant workout what its now worth!

    Hey all.

    Im hoping to upgrade to the d700 as soon as I can arrange my finances and just need to know roughly how much I’d get for all this:

    D80 (excellent cond.)
    Sigma 24-70, f2.8 (less than 4 months old)
    17-55mm kit lens (silver)
    Filters, straps, batteries etc., etc.

    THIS IS NOT AN ADVERT, mostly as I need this camera and gear at the minute, but I do need to know what it’s roughly worth so I can arrange my finances accordingly! :)

    Thanks!

    D80 – how old, how many actuations (use opanda exif). Berminghams sell for 489. You will get less (depends on details).
    17-55 is not a kit lens. Or maybe you mean 18-55, not 17-55/2.8?
    Sigma 24-70/2.8 – keep it. It is not perfect piece of glassware, but works well with d700. At the beginning you will need something anyway. I’ve sold mine (pristine condition) for 270.
    What filters, bateries etc.? You lazy… ;)

    Cheers for the reply!

    Right;

    Just under 50,000 actuations. No markings to body, perfect condition re: the sensor. Perfect in all conditions, really!
    Indeed I did mean the 18-55, (typo!)

    Filters: circl. polarising for kit lens. UV for all lens’ bar 50mm (but Im not selling that!)

    Battery: Just the one – the standard one that came with the camera.

    Straps: one red, foam filled one (branding removed as was itching) and the standard nikon branded one.

    All would come in a Nikon Bag. (Dunno how to decribe that – does what it does, I suppose!)

    Would 500 be pushing it?

    I’ve always found using the Dublin-based camera companies prices for used equipment, as a reference price, helpful. From there, modify it up/ down depending on condition/ speed with which you want to sell/ any other pertinent factors.

    Just my 2 cents,

    I have no idea but what I have done before in the same situation is to look at the same item on eBay and ‘watch’ the item on my home page. Ebay will then notify me when the item is near the end of the sale period and what it’s at and then inform me when it is sold. I can then see what it has sold for and get an idea of how much it’s worth (plus postage). It gives a good indication of what you should be looking for when selling.
