D800, Nikkor 16-35mm f4 VR, and Nikkor 28-300mm VR

I have decided to go a different direction in my photography. All of the above equipment is in like new condition. These items were purchased new by myself from B&H photo and are the USA models. Everything that originally came with this equipment; boxes, paperwork, cables, software, etc is included. The camera was used primarily indoors for studio work. Shutter count is at 2519. The camera had a total clean, lube, and adjust around the shutter count of 2300 at the Melville, NY Nikon facility. Being primarily an indoor camera the lenses were almost never used and nothing was used in a high humidity environment (rain/fog) or in temps below 50 degrees. I want $1500 for the D800, $900 for the 16-35mm f4 VR, and $850 for the 28-300mm VR. If interested send me a message.

Nothing to "restore", the lens probably has not even made 50 shots. Based my price on what they are going for on EBay.

I think the point Bill was trying to make is that Factory Refurbished products all come with a 90 day factory warranty and are selling for less than your used products which of course come with no warranty at all. A serious consideration for potential buyers.

Somewhat of a consideration. Refurbished generally means fixed and brought back to factory specs. This means at one point the item was damaged and repaired. They entice you to buy it with the 90 day warranty ensuring it was fixed properly. Mine was never abused or damaged to begin with and is in pristine condition. If you want buy someone else's broken and repaired equipment to save a $100 I am sure Nikon will be more than happy to accommodate you.

Refurbished simply means that it is not in factory packaging, that has nothing at all to do with "fixing" a problem. The vast majority of refurbs are simply display models from different shows, like Photoplus, CES, Photokina, CP+, and WPPA. These displayed units have been handled, but more often than not never mounted or even used. They are written off as a business expense by the manufacturers displaying them. After the show they are returned, checked out for functionality and condition, repairs are made IF NEEDED, and they get re-packaged in plain white or brown boxes rather than the original display packaging.
Any refurbbed product is always better than ANY used product regardless of the "claims" of that used product seller because of the factory warranty they come with. That is why no used product will ever be worth more than a comparable factory refurb unit.
Not what YOU want to hear, but facts are facts, unpleasant or not.

The market will decide the fate of these items. IF someone is willing to pay for them, then the OP has done well.

Not damage. Just excessive use! :thumbup:

ABSOLUTELY :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: And just one of the myriad of reasons that I don't buy on E-bay, but I do sell there upon occasion.

Doesn't refurbished also include the gear that is returned for some reason or another- usually for functioning or focus issues? I have returned things from time to time for those reasons-
BUT whatever- I'm going to take a big leap here- why is it that people feel compelled to undermine a seller (by listing where said product can be purchased cheaper) even if they have NO interest in buying? I really don't get it and in my opinion it is a disservice to the seller. And it happens often here!
