FS/FT: Nikon D7000, Nikon 70-200 /2.8

brianhuangbh · Feb 19, 2013

Hey guys. Selling all my DX gear since it doesn't get much use.

I have a like new D7000 with ~2000 clicks. I just got it a few months ago. I rarely used it because I was busy with school, hence the low shutter count. No scratches anywhere on it, screen is pristine. I'm looking to get $750 for it.

I also have a 70-200 that I want to sell. You can see the description and pictures here.

Hey guys. Selling a rarely used 70-200. I bought it a while ago, but I rarely need anything above ~85mm, so I was looking into selling this lens.

This lens was barely used and it shows. There are no scratches at all on the body of the lens. There is a small crack on the corner of the distance scale, from me being stupid and putting a battery in the pouch with the lens, but I imagine that's a cheap part to replace. Glass is pristine. No scratches at all. No dust at all, not even that occasional speck you seem to find in every lens. Looks brand new.

There is a small defect with this lens, however. The focus is a little sticky if you try to focus closer than 5ft/2.5m (the closest focusing distance). I have no idea how this happened. The lens was never dropped, banged, hit, etc. I usually just turn on the AF limit to 8ft/2.5m to avoid that. You can still focus closer than that, but may have to manually turn the focus ring a bit. It's not a huge deal, but definitely should be pointed out. The AF motor itself sounds like new. No squeaks or any signs of it failing. All other functions are perfect. Zoom and focus rings are as smooth.

I'm willing to let it go for $1300, considering the defects noted above. I am open to trades, let me know what you guys have.

I want to trade the two for a FX camera (Mainly looking for a D800 or D600). Obviously, money on either side is negotiable and can be discussed on what gear you want to trade.

Bump!

I'll trade you a 1997 Acura 3.0CL with new tires on it for that 70-200. You'll just have to come here to get it. And bring a tow truck, because it doesn't actually run. :lmao:
Well, it MIGHT run--transmission is shot, though, so you might be able to drive it back home (if home isn't very far) or you might not get it to the end of my driveway.

Seriously...good luck with your sale; I lust after a lens like that, but alas--every day, I watch and wait, but no money has fallen from the sky.

B&H current price for D7000 is a bit less than $900. I'll take it off your hands for $400.

I'm asking for $750? That's not unreasonable for a barely used camera that sells new currently for $900.

It's $750 refurbished. :/ I was looking to sell my D7000 recently and someone clocked me with that info.

While your body is practically brand new, you might have to drop it $100-200 to get rid of it.

Since the camera is so new, and under warranty just hold on your current price... I recently sold mine in very similar condition and age for $800... I personally don't trust refurbished gear because it was sent in for work for a reason... If I didn't get my asking price or somewhere reasonably close to it, then I was prepared to hold on to the D7000.... GLWS
