How much for the Camera only? Also can you give the serial number of the camera? Any idea of a shutter count, or what type of photography was it used for?
I would suggest you try find a local camera club rather than a class. There is a lot more to learn from a club and there will be loads of people to help. There is a list of clube on this site.
I bought a s/hand camera off them. After it was out of the 3 month warrantee they gave me it went faulty. I contacted them to see if they could get it fixed for me and they fixed it F.O.C.
