Buying Nikon Refurbs

I'm not sure how accurate those shutter counters are I have a d3s I taken over 60000 pictures on and when I check with 3 different online counters it comes up as 3896 clicks

My guess is that the shutter count is a 16 bit counter and it has rolled over. This means that your 3896 clicks is actually 64K(65536) + 3896 = 69432 clicks.

or the shutter assembly was replaced.

Okay help im not sure if this is the same situation with this used d700 i am buying it says the shutter count is 2333 and it says the image count is 2333 as well in post process softwares, but you mentioned the shutter count is a 16bit counter and the 3ds is similar to the d700 so the camera im buying is around the same shutter count?

I posted all the information in this thread here Buying used/refurbed photography gear w/no knowledge?
