A bit high on the prices? Depends... If you like good gear, checked out on film (not all gear is manufactured equal - there *are* sample variations...), and described accurately (no bad surprise when you open the package...), the prices may seem quite reasonable (and they are considerably below new - and "new" does not guarantee "perfect" in terms of function...). On any of the gear I sell, you can ask for, and get, an assessment of how a particular piece performs (the description of physical condition is given on the web site). Where else can you get that? But, in any case, why comment on my prices here - just buy, or not buy...(or make a decent offer). -- -- David Ruether http://www.ferrario.com/ruether |

$95.00 for the 8008 Body. If it were the "s" model, I would offer $135.00

If it were the "s" model, I would offer $135.00 ;-), ;-), ;-) Sorry, I did say "decent" offer - these are still fine user cameras (I prefer them for MF to AF, though) with excellent, sharp viewfinders and good control of TTL flash fill ratios. And, BTW, the non-S version has a better metering pattern for my preferred center-weighted manual exposure mode. If it were not for the better AF of the F100 (I lost sharp vision in the center of my "camera" eye), the 8008 would still be my camera of choice over all other Nikons except for architectural work (F3 for that...).

At that amount, I can sell them for MUCH more here to students in photo classes, just keep them - or use them (I have several) for making "Matrix" frozen action film effects...;-). -- -- David Ruether http://www.ferrario.com/ruether |

I just want others to know that these prices are WAY out of line. I would
just hate for someone who didn't know any better such as a student to be taken advantage of by someone like this guy. wrote in message ...

Hmmmm.... Taken advantage of??? As I pointed out earlier, there are good reasons for buying other than for just lowest price - and some people value what I offer in terms of accurate description, on-film testing, and good dealing. BTW, "this guy" may just know a thing or two about gear that you may not - drop " into www.google.com "groups", and start reading some of the 14,000+ entries of mine you will find there - you may possibly learn something...;-) Comment on me here if you *personally* have had good or bad dealings with me, or if my descriptions have been inaccurate, but it is fully up to me to set prices, and fully up to a buyer to accept or not my price - it is not your place to interfere. And, BTW, the I've long felt the 11th commandment should have been, "Thou shalt not be self-righteous"...! ;-) -- -- David Ruether http://www.ferrario.com/ruether "Jay Davenport" wrote in message ...

$175-285 for an 8008 Body? You are nuts!. I can buy 2 -3 8008 bodies with a
14 day no question return at several reputable places for that price. "David Ruether" wrote in message news:bRz4e.7788$4b.2599@trndny08... Hmmmm.... Taken advantage of???
