Hi Loz,
Don't be too upset, there will be a next time. I know it said 'in original box' but what condition was the camera in? Did they tell you? Don't mean to be sceptical but you gotta wonder at a price like that...

Perhaps with jammed shutter release or did not power up at switch on :wink: A brand new empty box costs AU$ 10.00 :lol:
I doubt it very much with its price tag :wink:

He reckons 'VGC' (Very Good Condition) as per above post. He could be lying however at that price...

Though I do wonder how many mint "unused" DSLR are in peoples cupboard.

Many (one in say 20?) families have a slr....now superceded by P&S, gathering dust

Some of my friends bought one after me (not all Nikons but you know what I mean) and most of them in the closet gathering dust...........

I don't know about this particular camera but the fact that it was advertised in the trading post tells me the person was not that familiar with it nor the value.

I spoke with the seller he is a PRO and has up dated his equipment several times since purchasing the D100 his quote (the D100 is just old technology now tried to sell it for $1200 and had no offers so I just decided to get rid of it ) He has purchased a D2x maybe I should ask him for first offer when he upgrades to a D3x :lol: :lol:

A Pro's D100! then what's the life expectancy of its after few years in use? It's just about to be the paperweight if it comes out the Pro's hand.

I was thinking the same thing, although I think the price of the new D70s is attractive already anyway, no need to buy a D100 for that price...
