I might suggest you check used camera pricing at reputable sources. You are more than a little overpriced for this antigue film gear.

considering i picked up a near mint condition n-90 from keh.com for $10.00 i would have to agree with you mt. basicaly if its film gear and not a rare collectors item, or a leica or hassenblad, the value is about bupkiss.
Yep - I can price out an F4 and the same lenses for less.

Heck, I just saw an F5 with a 35-70mm F2.8 on Ebay at $480 with less than 2 hours left on it. Maybe this newbie is hoping for a sucker on the UHH. Boy, did he pick the wrong site for that!
All of above us accurate, but B4 you get despondent! I recently, 3 days ago passed an F4s 'Diamond AA+' for &90$, & yet Adorama had 3, 2 were like $300, 1, $1200!! I just happen to do bus. liquidation, & took on a camera / Gun shop. There were NEW lenses & cameras in boxes, 2,3,-10 yrs old! Film gear is tough, I actually buy more lenses buy purchasing an overlooked film body, Nikkor ED AF 24-120 F3.3 (new) & 24-55 ED f3.3 w/ an F-801 w/ a 35-80 kit lens, ( no-one read further ). My Suggestion, is eBay ( film / & vintage is + - ), or forums like this, but don't ask $$ engage someone, a Nikon Addict will slowly build a desire, & I say this only as I feel it's a tragedy, the Nikon & Canon film 35mm is going to waste, when we'll spend 3 hrs on photoshop vs. 15 min at Walmart!!
