Having bitten the bullet and gone for FX, I am now selling off the DX kit - first to go is the 18-55 DX AF-S VR lens, I bought it for a measly £20 a year ago and just sold it for £50 so that's a chunk off the cost of the D610

Nice. Great to get profit on a sale.

I LOVE a bargain ....especially when you make money on its resale. Sadly these days, I seem to be always the other way round....buying expensive and getting poor resales.

I have been doing pretty well shifting my old MG stock - bought a 6 cylinder MGC engine for £95 many years ago - so far I made £300 for the block, £100 for the manifolds and £40 on the thermostat housing - I have the head up for £695 but did spend about £400 having it converted to unleaded and gas flowed. So overall profit should be around £600 ....

I agree - there are many instances of people bidding over the odds for exactly the same item for sale on buy it now. There are also automated offers at ridiculous levels for items listed in auctions. One catch to look out for is the apparent cheapness of items from Japan - you have to add on import charges and postal handling charges - they can add £16 to a £40 item! Nobody bid on the D90, lens or battery handle despite many watchers - so I have put them together as a kit, a similar "kit" went for £200 last week with many bids.

And what exactly does that do Jonathon , .. personally if I'm interested in something I set myself a limit and bid in the last few seconds .. sometimes I win others I get outbid .. but I do study what the retailers offer to .. I very nearly bought a Olympus lens ( different to the one mentioned above ) mid week but bidding went to high and retailers were similarly overpriced , yesterday I spotted one in unused condition with a lens hood ( optional extras on Olympus) for well under market price on a buy it now ,only been listed a few minutes before and grabbed it quick ..

Worth asking around friends to see if they are considering buying a new camera. Some manufacturers offer an extra cash back when PXing 'any' DSLR. I pxed a camera Graham was wanting to get rid of, against a new Nikon body. He got the cash he wanted without having to buy anything plus an extra few quid from the cashback bonus. I got the lens I wanted with a few quid off also.

I agree Jeff. Places like eBay seem to gather silly over bidders...except when I am selling. I then seem to get the tight buggers. If people want to snipe snipe at the last minute so be it....they will invariably buy the item for more than I was prepared to pay.
