Selling on ebay: individual items or grouped?

Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II

I'm selling
Nikon D700 body
Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR DG IF-ED
Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D
Nikon AF-S Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8G ED
Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro for Nikon
Nikon SB-600 battery grip + battery

Why? I was offered an amazing deal on a 1Dmark4 from a local dealer. I am carrying around 2 DLSR's (D700 for photography 7D for HD video). Neither can do what the other does but the 1Dmark4 can. I plan on selling the 7D gear I just bought as well, but only after the Nikon gear is gone. I also have access to good glass from the photography company working out of the chapels. They are all heavily invested in Canon.

So, I'm going to be putting these on ebay but I'm not sure whether to offer them on their own in separate auctions or as a group? Maybe the D700 + lens + grip and then the other stuff separately? What's the opinion of DPC?

My wife is rolling her eyes...she married a geek.

Definitely individual in my opinion. If people want more than 1 item they can combine for postage purposes. If someone wants only one of the items that you are bundling (say the D700 body only), then as a bundle it may be out of their price range. You will just be limiting your market.

Just my thoughts.

I would sell the body-grip-,and body as one. Lenses separate.

I'm going to have to agree with Lonni. I've done a bit of eBaying, not camera equip, yet you will always make more off of individual items than groups. I would be more inclined to buy 1 lens I want, rather than a few extra things i don't need. You will make much more individually.

On a side note, how much are you looking for on:

PM me if you want, I'm actually in the market for one now.

I guess the grip and the D700 are going together and the rest separate.

I've found ALL my boxes except 1, the Nikon AF-S Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8G ED box is missing...and I swear I've seen it around my work area a million times.

And not a few minutes into the auction a winner (Buy it Now) button.

He is legit (100 percent feedback on over 100 transactions). Well, I'm half way there.
