Default Enquire for selling Fx-7

Hi guys,

Can I ask what is the reasonable price that I can sell my FX-7 now? It is 6 months old but sent the warranty card only recently on 1st of September. The condition is at 9/10. I am also willing to sell with the given leather casing,16mb SD card, box including software and a third party battery from EastGear. So if I do priced it at $400, will it be reasonable? Thank you for reading the post!

The problem I faced with selling very very new and good condition low end digital cams (low end as compared to DSLRs) was that even in 6 months or less, and with all the freebies thrown in, or even added extras, the price I could get after trying and trying was about 50% of what I paid.

It doesn;t help that the market at the consumer P&S level moves much faster than the pro levels and newer and greater models come out every few weeks!!! Unfortunately, most avarage consumers just follow trends and marketing hype so for us, it's a matter of 'that's the way the game is played' kinda situation ... sad.

Novice,

What mwerkz said holds a lot of truth.

Why change for the sake of change?

Also, in the P&S arena, a lot of times, the slightly older, less specified (aka, lower Megapixel) cameras may give you far superior picture quality than their later testerone imbued MP brethren simply because there's just so many MP that should be squeezed into a miniature sensor before picture quality starts to degrade.
