[QUOTE="Texas, post: 603923, member: 42267"] [B]Keep me away from Craigslist for a while please before my luck or money runs out.[/B] I love a bargain and over the past few months I've spent a little under $850USD for the following (all on Craigslist within 40 miles of home and bought from normal people or photographers with a reason to sell - no shady deals for me): D100 w/ Nikon 18-105 VR w/extra memory cards and batteries/chargers Sigma 105 macro with battery/ac powered medical ring light - looks to be an early lens with smaller filter ring than I find by googling. D300s w/18-55 VR and grip Nikon 35 1.8G And the deal of the century yesterday ($500) - Nikon 1 J5 kit w/10-100 f4-j5.6 (new in box, with warranty cards, never been out of the box ! - owner won it in a contest which means this was not a perfect deal: warranty probably will not work due to lack of store sales receipt) The D300s has about 25K clicks but everything else looks and works like new. I've only passed on a couple other deals due to beat up/overpriced gear. There's lots of overpriced stuff on Craigslist but if you watch the ads that stay up for a few weeks, posted with price decreases, they usually get tired of trying to sell the stuff and will take a low ball offer. I'm well experienced with and enjoy my old gear but the Nikon 1 J5 has my mind completely blown just studying it and fiddling with it without shooting any serious pictures yet. Looks like I'll be able to net at least $500 on my no longer interesting photo and electronic stuff that's going on ebay this week. Spring cleaning is around the corner and I'm trying to enforce a 'not used in the last year' then off it goes to ebay or charity. It will be a lot of stuff. If the J5 is as much fun as it looks I'll probably buy the somewhat expensive FT-1 lens adapter for my F mount lenses. Will I get kicked off the forum for using a J5? [/QUOTE]
