jeez......... I thought you guys were going to get some positive dialog
going and sell this camera for me. Calling it "bargain grade" is not going
help at all. This is a very nice camera and it appears that most of the wear
has come from being carried on a strap...perhaps carried a lot. There are no
signs of abuse and the camera is very clean. Usually when a camera has been
on a strap a lot there will be dings and dents from being bumped on things.
This body does not show any of that. I bought it primarily to get the motor
drive and other goodies that came with it. I have way too many camera bodies
and need to sell some.
Incidentally, I am originally from Moscow and still go there twice a year to
visit relatives and check on property we still have there. It's beautiful
country.

1. The seller is from Idaho, so of course he is thrifty, brave,
obedient, kind, honest and true!
2. I don't know if the BIN is any great deal. My rule of thumb is that
I will pay up to 750f a KEH price for an item on *-Bay. KEH has a 4T
(KEH "Excellent") for $665. 750f that would be $499. This one would
probably only rate KEH "bargain" status.
B&H has a couple of 8+ bodies for $499, a 9 for $600, and a 9+ for
$650. I would rather buy a 8+ body from them, than deal with a *-Bay
seller.
