Fair price to sell my Nikon D40 for on ebay? - 1

*It is missing lens cap and charger* I don't know how much it was originally bought for as it was a gift, thanks

I quite often see the question on YA how much someone should sell their camera for (i.e. How much it is worth). If you would like to read what others had to say, just use the search box above.

Here is some food for thought

1) Very important point, often overlooked:
Electronic gadgets (including cameras) tend to become CHEAPER over the years, so something you paid $200 for 5 years ago, probably only costs $130 brand new these days. It may have had some neat features back then, but chances are that the new ones have more and better ones.

2) It is old and used, don't expect to get the same amount that a new one now sells for. Even in great condition, people will still regard it as old and used. If it is ancient, bashed up or not working at all, it is called a paper weight.

3) Figure out the current price, then take a look on Amazon, Ebay and your local Craigslist. Search for the gadget and see what other people ask/get for theirs.
Prices often vary by location, so that makes it even harder for us to guess.

4) Now you know what the market will support - don't expect to get rich, no matter what you're selling.
