Leigh,
Pinch your Gary's 70-210 put on eBay and go get a decent 80-200 AF-S

Posted: Sat Feb 26, 2005 9:39 amSeems there is quite a few on this board with an undiscovered goldmine in their cupboard. Personally I find it unbelievable.

Posted: Sat Feb 26, 2005 10:42 amMine isn't the D version either, and I wouldn't want to part with it, but $745 US might tempt me. 
Cheers

Posted: Sat Feb 26, 2005 11:06 amA classic Ebay sale:
An Aussie company offered a 120Gb H/D at a buy it now price of $189 + postage
The same company offered the same item with a starting price of $189 + postage
Someone placed a bid of $189
The first item was for those in the know - the second item was placed for idiots

Posted: Sat Feb 26, 2005 2:34 pmThis is making me feel really positive about putting my Tamron 70-300 up on Ebay.. i've never sold anything on there before though.. any tips from anyone with more experience?
Posted: Sat Feb 26, 2005 2:56 pmI bought mine brand new for $560 US and it came with the kit lens and 70-300 ED in Nov 02. Unbelievable that someone would pay more on Ebay for a used one. So in a word, Yes, they are truly idiots.
If I got out of mine for $400 us (body and kit lens) I'd be a happy camper.
On a side note, the 24-120 VR is for sale here at the Lens and Shutter for $735. This lens seems so useful and I'm thinking that 735 canadian is a pretty good deal. I took a gander through the D100, and was impressed at the autofocus etc. Is this a good price Birdie?

Dooda, this lens is in the bargain section at $750 AUD with Canadian to Aussie dollar roughly 1:1, $735 is a good price (nobody beats birddog in Australia)

Posted: Sat Feb 26, 2005 5:17 pmi purchased my 70-210 D from bh for about 180usd 2 years ago.
i can't believe its really worth more than the 80-200 2.8 s/h.
i find it a bit sluggy af to use and its quite heavy too abit more than the 24-120 vr i think.
