What's a good price to pay for a used D7000 body on today's market ? I see the prices range from $500 to $800 depending on what the owner thinks it's worth.The other pertinent question is how high is too high of a shutter count and should that reflect in the price one is willing to pay?Thnx

Just remember that asking this question on this forum does not guarantee in any way that you will get a right answer. As far as I know, we are not dealing with cameras and, as much as we can look around in our respective markets, it doesn't mean that it will be the same ball park figures for your area. If you look around on the bay and adds on the net, you probably can see what the price is.
If I was looking, I'd trust a reputable shop like b&H or Adorama that would offer you a certain warranty contrary to personal adds on the net where you could get stuck with a problem camera that you could regret afterwards.
I would highly recommend purchasing refurbished instead...at least you will have the chance of return back to the online store and will be covered at least 90 days warranty from Nikon.
Don't worry about the shutter count so much, the D7000 has been proven up to 150,000...I got mine refurbished with over 10,000 and I'm really happy with mine!
This just proves that the sensor is good.

I'm also a D3100 owner, and are also starting to look at the D7000. If that is all I'm going to get for my camera, I might as well just keep it, or give it to one of my nephews as a gift.
I only paid $389+tax for the kit when Wal-Mart was running a special on them, but still.

This is the same reason why I still own mine.
I purchased the D3100 w/18-55mm kit for almost $600 on sale over 2 years ago...sold the lens, but was low balled on Craigslist for the D3100 body plus aftermarket grip/extra battery.
I rather keep it as a backup then to be ripped off!
It might be an entry level camera, but still takes excellent photos...pretty much better than any non DSLR.
With the right lens combo, it can shine.
Since moving from London to Dubai I shop from all over the world, but I've never understood American's love for B&H and Adorama. I find their prices for 2nd hand stuff really expensive. You can pick up a brand new version of the same product for only a small increase ($100?) from other sites like DigitalRev.com. Service is brilliant, manufacturers warranties is normal as expected and free shipping to most countries.
I'd only be willing to pay higher prices to a local family run store, otherwise just get it off the tinterwebs for cheaper.
I'm finding that out regarding pricing in cameras , must be a huge margin in used items for retailers cuz they certainly don't pay enough out to buy it back and want way to much to sell it.
Being in Canada we take a bit of a hit for buying from the USA with our dollar being down also.

Stores are in business to make money, period. They can't afford to sell a used item, give it some warranty, and not make the same or more profit margin as when they sell a new item. I don't know how much margin they can make on camera bodies, but it can't be less than 30% even if they refuse to acknowledge this. When I try to get a bargain, I'm always told that their margin is less than 10% which can't be true otherwise they wouldn't stay in business long. So my advice to you is try to sell your camera by yourself on Kijiji or another personal of your choice, and then see where you want to buy your next camera.
I bought my D7100 from DigitalRev too, after others recommended them - I paid £629 ($1055) so around £200 cheaper than UK internet based sellers. Very happy with the service and would definitely buy from them again.

It does not look like DigitalRev.com comes with a US warrenty. That is a problem if you live here and something goes wrong with the camera. You would not be able to get it repaired by Nikon. Let me know if this is wrong.
This is very common regarding any kind of purchase...not just photography as you might know.
Such as automobiles, cellphones...etc. You never get back what's it worth.
