yeah it looks good. i'd think that kit would go for $1300-$1400 or so. $1000 is cheap.

How can you tell it looks heavily used via a 300px image?
- it's missing a major button********
- $90 repair job.********
- That button on the back looks worn to shit. Plus 98,000 clicks is quite a lot.canuck
- And if that one button is worn down like that, other things are probably worn too.canuck
- It's not worn. The button was hard plastic and it cracked in half so I removed it. $90 fix.********

"all the glass was designed for film"
they're old cheap nikkor lens that are litterally pre-digital - aka junk
- Ok, fair enough.********
- *shakes head*
pre-digital lenses are fine. lenses 2-4 are nothing special, but lens 1 is great.bigtrick - pre-digital lens often have poor collimation, as it wasn't required for film********
- ...what is this jargon. the only difference i have heard between pre-digi and digi lenses is extra anti-flare coatings.bigtrick
- ...coatings.bigtrick
- google collimation********
- i did. and i did not find anything relevant.bigtrick
- hey wait a minute... is that you, justin?bigtrick
- m*dv*s*k*d********
- oh ok. then i grant you more respect and withdraw my hostile overtones.bigtrick
- still don't know what the fuck collimation has to do with digital vs nondigital lenses though.bigtrick
- don't. what i say is just my experience and opinion. you're opinion is just as valid and equal.********
- Fuck all this nonsense. The real question is WHY IS IT IN THE FRIDGE?canuck
- Ok, fair enough.
- bigtrick0
you should go see it. the price is good enough that it's worth a look.
- It's my package. I guess that wasn't obvious. I am trying to unload this and get something else.********

"It's my package."
Well then. While in my opinion it may not be worth buying at this price you shouldn't have much trouble selling it. You could probably start by setting the price a bit higher.
