Unfortunately, no. I just received payment yesterday. Apologies for not updating this sooner,

At work, so I'll call when I'm out!
And, I'll do you one better - I'll pay shipping and insurance, and, when it arrives, if I haven't been up front about the condition of the body or lens, you don't have to reimburse me any of that cost.
But, if you like what you see, you can pay me back half. But you get to inspect it first.
I've never had a bad experience with fellow photographers. I'll trust your judgment.

I thought I did, but I think they got lost in the last move. Sorry.

This would make a perfect starter camera set for someone just starting out, or wanting to dip into mirrorless without going bankrupt!
I am selling my Sony a6000 camera, black body. It's had a screen protector since day 1, and is in excellent condition! I used this camera for 3 years, and never had a problem with it (although, if you leave the battery grip in the "on" position, even if the camera is off the batteries drain-- it's a known issue). I only stopped using it because I bought an A7II, and this was my backup. I kept it charged, but it never got used. I just recently bought an A7rIII, and now the A7II is my backup! I really hate to sell this, but I've got too many cameras as it is (I collect 35mm film cameras and Polaroid SX-70s!).
Shutter activations: 6835 (I can send you a picture of the web site showing this, if you like). According to Sony, that's about 6% of its estimated life.
Included with the body:
Sony 50mm 1.8 prime lens (love this lens! Glass is clear, one small scratch to the paint next to where it says "E-mount")
Sony 55-210mm 4.5-6.3 (Lens looks hardly used, glass is pristine)
Meiki battery grip (includes patch cord if you want to use the vertical shutter release; it sounds obtrusive but honestly, I forgot it was there!)
5 batteries, 4 of them aftermarket-- they seem to be working and charging fine, but I'd probably get a few fresh ones for maximum life
2-battery charger that uses a micro-USB cable
single battery charger (plugs in)
All lens caps and body cap
If I can find it, I'll send an older manual Minolta 57mm lens with an adapter ring; because of the vagaries of APS-C, this acted like an 85mm portrait lens-- and took amazing pictures! It's in used shape, but the glass is clear.
I'm asking $450 plus shipping, which I think isn't all that unreasonable.
I can text you pictures of the gear upon request; I'm having a time uploading pictures (if I get it working, they will be added here!)

Ok, I'm going to go a different route...
I've got a nephew who was 5. He loved my cameras, and his dad said he was always taking pictures with dad's phone.
Last Christmas, I was shooting a Nikon F4s, b&w film. I had to explain what "film" was, that I couldn't show him the pics until I went home and developed them. But, I showed him the OTHER camera I brought with me that trip - a Polaroid SX-70. He LOVED the idea of a unique, one-of-a-kind photo.
So, his dad and I went out and, after looking around, got him an Instax with a rubber case. It's primitive as all hell, but he ran through 50 pictures in an afternoon!
When he's with me or his dad, he can use our stuff. But the Instax has taught him a LOT about light, and how to use it. His pictures are WAY above what his age would lead you to expect.
The film isn't terribly expensive, but self-limiting both in turns of how much time he can spend on it, AND in teaching him to take better photos so film isn't wasted!
Just an idea... Forces him to work on basics.

And all of Epstein's friends will tell you he was a capital fellow...
And I'm sorry, "in spades?" They sold the idea to the state of Kentucky at projecting 1.4-2.4 MILLION visitors a year. First year was 860,000 give or take a few (not a "few thousand"). Only 61% of their lowest projection. They then try to cover their arses by saying "Children under 5 get in free, so they won't show up in the ticket count." Then why were they using the figure for non-paying (non-TAX-paying) guests to justify giving them a tax break AND investment in the first place?
This thing is a turkey. The idea of a literal interpretation of the book of Genesis was summed up in the 4th century AD by one of the Latin Fathers of the Church, St. Augustine of Hippo. He stated, regarding what is written in the first book of the Bible, that he "did not dare expound in their literal meaning such great mysteries of the natural order, that is to say, how what is said there can be taken as strictly historical (Augustine 2010, I.18)."
He went on to announce that a literal interpretation of Genesis was "intellectual suicide," and that taking that view made it easier for heretical groups like the Manichees (of which he was an ex-member) to seduce Christians away from the Church. It was only through the teaching and patience of his instructor in the faith and baptizer, St. Ambrose, that he came to share Ambrose's view in a spiritual reading of the text. I would encourage you to read the actual text, rather than the "Augustine was actually a new earther!" website that I know that you'll run to first. In fact, I DARE you to read the Church Fathers. Not commentaries, but the actual words they penned. Warning, you'll need to keep a dictionary handy. They didn't dumb down their ideas like some *cough-Fox-cough*, and expected- no, DEMANDED- that their readers be educated and well-read. Which you will be after reading them! Then you'll have a REAL Christian education, by people no church/denomination can refute without being identified as heretical.
Interesting how often the old heresies are washed off and brought forward as something new and revolutionary.
