Hi All
I am curious about how much is a realistic price for a Canon Eos 30D body only. It is in very good condition. I am thinking of upgrading to a 50D.
I have not gone to a shop yet as i know if i managed to sell it private it would be better.
What do you think?

Regards

Probably 500-600 at most. Camera bodies don’t hold their value well unlike lenses.

A mint 30D body is on eBay.ie at the moment.. currently €338 with 35 minutes to go on the auction.

Personally I wouldn’t pay much more than €350-€400 depending on the condition.

I paid close to €600 for a mint 30D last year… but it was I.R. converted (€300 service) and had been recently serviced… so that made the price acceptable.

I also have one for sale in perfect condition with all original accessories, used only at a back up camera. have I over priced it at €650 inc battery grip and spare set of batteries ?

Its worth a hell of a lot more than €350 in its perfect condition, if that’s all I can get, then its stays in the bag as a back up.

My PERFECT 30D includes a battery grip and all original software, charger and cables and a set of spare batteries. I have seen one for sale in a free adds paper for €750.

as did mine with 3500 on the shutter. i,m not trying to make you feel bad or give out to you, just why would you pay more for it than a used 40d which go for about 450. with free ads you can stick it in for any price and theres always a fool out there with money, but if you actually want to sell it you need to be realistic
