Does anyone ever buy and sell on this forum? If so, I am looking for a decent priced nifty fifty for Nikon D3300.

Keep in mind, your D3300 has no built-in AF motor so it only autofocuses with AF-S and older professional AF-I lenses, same as the D5000 series.. the D7000 series and up have a screw drive focus motor in the body that work with most types of lenses.
With older, screw-type Nikon AF and AF-D (non AF-S) lenses, you’ll have to focus them by hand.
That’s not hard with film cameras with their micro prism focusing aids, but I’ve never been good at manual focus with a DSLR.
None listed here on the ‘hog lately.
Adorama has a used 50mm G type here: https://www.adorama.com/us1547601.html
KEH has a few G type 50mm lenses: https://www.keh.com/shop/nikon-nikkor-2199-50-mm-f-1-8-wide-angle-lens-for-nikon-f.html
Another option here-I’ve never used one but Yongnou makes a 50mm that I believe will AF with your camera.

The 50mm on your DX sensored camera will make a nice short portrait length lens.

Nikon periodically offers refurb cameras and lenses for sale. MPB and other second hand vendors usually have those lenses in stock.

I've done both. No problems. Just make sure you know what you're buying. If you're selling, post good pictures and a good description. Asking questions first is better than complaining later.
