I wanna sell my 717 & upgrade - DPChallenge Forums

03/01/2004 04:47:20 PM · #1

I would like to sell my 3 month old 717, flash, filters, 3X zoom lens, second battery and a 256mb SanDisk MS Pro card and upgrade to I'm guessing a used Canon D10.

How much can I ask for my Camera? And while I'm at it, any takers??? If I don't sell the 717 first, my Fiance will probably kill me, if she doesn't already when I get the D10.

I don't want to rush because I hate to think about how much money I'm going to loose by wanting to step up too soon.

Anyone looking to sell a D10 package? :)

after you decide on a price let me know, looking for a f717 is what I do these days.

I'm so-so happy with the 3X, you MUST use it with a tri/mono-pod and it doesn't work well if you zooming in really close to something, so it's great for landscapes and such if you just need to get closer. But don't plan on reading small print from distance, it will be blury.

Well that partially why I was posting, I'm not sure what to sell it for. The freaking thing is about brand-new and just that alone means I'm going to loose my shirt.

Honestly, I'll sell it in what ever way maximizes my return, I'm also not in hurry and I don't NEED to sell it... I'm willing to take offers on the whole package right now, only because if I sell the parts my camera will become un-usable to me!

EDIT: I really like the camera, but I've come to realize that for doing what I need to do, it's not the right camera... That said, it's a hobby, so I don't HAVE to sell it.

Yes the battery is a true Sony, only 2 weeks old, I needed it for this past weekend... The filters I would have to check on, I can't remember and I have 2 kinds. I'll be home later tonight and I will check...

What Lenses fit the 10D? I've got a Canon 35mm SLR, the same lens as the 300D takes, will that work on the 10D???

Thanks!

I'll sell the following for:

--------------------------------------------------
$550.00 : Sony 717 bought brand new from CompUSA beginning of December Still have new box, charger, USB, book, ect..... I am missing the video cable at this time, it is MIA in my house.
$ 35.00 : Sony leather bag for this camera, in store I think it's $49 or $59.
$ 89.00 : Sony FL1000 Flash 2 weeks old, from B&H
$ 49.00 : Oteka 3X telephoto $79 brand new I think, perfect condition, bag + both caps.

$ 49.00 : SONY Made Battery, 3 weeks old 2 charging cycles so far ($11+tax break from new)

$ 79.00 : SanDisk 256mb It has my name written on the memory stick note.

$ 20.00 : Opteka Filters used, but in excellent conition UV, FD, Polerizer + case -- (glass)

$ 25.00 : Quantary Filters Both almost new Cross Screen, Neutral Desity (ND2) -- (glass)

FREE : Extra UV filter from BestBuy, I foget the brand, only sell with other (glass)
--------------------------------------------------
$896.00 : TOTAL
--------------------------------------------------
$849.00 + shipping PACKAGE DEAL

There is a 2 year warrenty on the camera, but Idon't think I can transfer it. If anything was to go wrong with camera I would be more than willing to take care of repairs through CompUSA my self...

Prices above are for package only. I will only sell accessories if buyer of 717 doesn't want them.

NOTE: Because I hate suprises also. I want to mention that I have my name and my parents phone number etched in small letters on the bottom of the camera, next to serial numbers. I used my parents because their number hasn't changed in 15 years and mine has changed 15 times.

I'm a very honest guy, if we were ever contacted about it we would of course give it back :) Althought I'm sure it would be pretty easy to get rid of the etching.

Well I know I'm loosing money some where in selling this thing, cause I spent way more than what I'm selling it for. But crap it's like a new car, you loose 5 grand just driving it off the lot!

You may want to try looking for something similiar (and used but in mint condition) on www.ebay.com. I find the final sale price for most cameras is almost dead on what they charge at a used camera store or through a personal sale.

You must mean a Sony Memory Stick or Memory Stick Pro, i.e. a card that fits the 717?
