I've got a Nikon N80, just the body. It's in perfect shape. Ebay charges an arm and a leg just to post and sell there and I've gotten one response from Craigs list, but I'm not sure that person is going to follow through. I also tried Adorama, but never got a reply back. I thought of a question today, do you happen to know where a good place is to sell a camera? I’ve got a Nikon N80, just the body.

I spent A LOT of time looking at the Nikon D50 online. Ebay, comparing prices at mysimon.com, tons of retailers out there with the camera 100-200 dollars under the price at our local stores. But what it DID come down to is the customer service. Brian at Kits Camera spent an hour with us talking camera's without ever knowing if we were truly coming back to buy the D50 from him. But I did, even though it was about 100.00 more than online. But on the other hand, it comes with their classes, which are fantastic for beginners (like me) and people who are willing to take the time out to talk to you about your camera and your needs. And, of course, like you said, if something goes wrong, a real person to talk to. Not a machine that basically says "to reach someone who cares, press....". I agree!
