I'm not sure if I really want to do this because I really do love this camera but since I simply have too many cameras I thought I would at least put this feeler out to see if there is any serious interest. I have 5 digital cameras with all but this one being mirrorless and I am not sure if getting rid of my only DSLR is wise or not but here goes.
My D7200 is in like new condition with no scratches or blemishes. Shutter count 6379. It has a Nikon 18-200 type 2 lens on it which is also in very good condition. After checking internet prices for used cams I found that all cams of this type and condition are being listed from $500-$600 for body only. I would prefer to sell it with the 18-200 lens which I purchased used from KEH for $240. I would sell both and an additional Nikon 24mm f2.8D lens which I also purchased last year from MPB for $140. All three would go for $800. I will even throw in a Nissin I40 flash for Nikon also in very good condition.
I really don't want to sell body only but if I did it would be $600. I have photos which I am posting. If interested reply and I will give my phone number. Thanks.

Question Dan,.....Where did you get the nice fit blue rubber focus grip???,...I'm using small rubber bands used for banding lobster claws,.......appropriate since in live in down east Maine,....lol....about $8.00 for a bag of 500 bands (for me a lifetime supply),..a bit tight but have worked okay.
Thanks muchly.

Hope you don't mind me commenting, but I now own a half dozen Nikon bodies and the D7200 is the one I grab more than any other. I love it. With its very low shutter count, this one is next-to-new. I suspect someone will be very happy with it. I'm having to sit on my hands while I wonder which of my children would like this one. Heaven help me.

I don't remember specifically where I got that one, I think it came along with something else I ordered a few years ago. However I looked on Amazon just now and typed in Nikon 18-200 lens rubber focusing ring and it brought up several choices most less than $10. It does make turning that ring easier to find by feel and easier to turn. The one that I have has a label on it called Camdesign and it says its actually for a 70-200 lens but it works fine on the 18-200 and probably many others

I do agree with you. I do love my 7200 and kind of hate to let it go so if it does not sell I won't be upset. I am not offering it for sale because I need the sale money. It's just that at my age of 77 which is probably about average for this forum the issue of disposing of all this camera gear when I pass may be a problem for my family. No one else in my family has any interest in cameras or photography in general so I thought if I could thin down the number they have to deal with afterward it would give them one less thing to have to deal with. That may sound stupid and it does indeed sound stupid to me at times. That's why I have been indecisive as to whether to sell or not since I know that trying to sell at a local camera store or an online such as KEH will give them a rip off price. At least on this forum I know I am dealing with people who have the interest and the knowledge to appreciate its true value.

After looking into a bit more I found that ones I saw on Amazon were just replacements for the rubber rings that come on the lenses. But on the b&h site I saw some more similar to the one I have that go over the built in rubber ring. One was called Lens band and was omly $5.
