I bought a good bit of camera gear this past fall but am forced to sell it immediately (financial trouble). I am wondering if you guys could give me an idea how much I could get for this entire lot. I'd like to sell it outright for a good deal. Opinions?

Canon PowerShot G5 (all original boxes, documentation, accessories, USA warranty card, etc.)
52mm Lensmate Adapter
58mm Lensmate Adapter
52mm Hoya HMC UV Filter
Op/Tech Neoprene Neck Strap (quick release, black)
52mm Tether Type Lens Cap
Microstar 5.75" x 5.75" Micro-Fiber Cloth
SanDisk Ultra 1.0GB CompactFlash Card
Canon TC-DC58 Tele-Converter
Canon BP-522 Battery Pack
Lowepro TLZ1 1
Lowepro Nova 4 AW
A Short Course in Canon PowerShot G5 Photography (book & CD)

I've NEVER used the Canon Telephoto Lens, Spare Canon Battery Pack, 58mm Lensmate, or the LowePro Nova bag. ALL of these items are in like-new condition. I've not had the time to use any of it. None of the items have any marks or anything - they are all like-new. I've taken about 400 pics with the camera - all on Auto and inside the house.

Thanks for the help. I'll post it in the for-sale section once I figure out how much I can expect.

Now that the new 8MP model is out,
you should be able to get about $200
for it.

Sorry to hear about your troubles.

Unfortunately I don't have any figures - take a look at ebay auctions for similar equipment and find out the B&H prices for new equipment to arrive at a realistic level.

I'd sell off the Canon adapter and the CF card separately, as the adapters normally have a good resale value. If you put it into a bundle, you'll most likely lose more money than necessary.

If you sell on ebay, have the auction end on friday or saturday evening. You'll get more offers then.

Regards,
Andy
