Wanted D60, new or used.

Newbie here in the group...

Yeah I'm sure many of you got a laugh out of the subject line but please hear me out.

I am in need of a D60 ASAP, I threw the used tag in there as I do not have the cash for a new body. I've got lenses, batteries, two 1 gig Microdrives and so forth. With the D60 being so new I have yet to find any used ones for sale.

I'm looking to drop between $1,500 and $1,800, perhps a bit more. Any suggestions/help would be very much appreciated.

You're dreaming of course.. there have been a number of used (and open box) ones on ebay in the last couple weeks, and they're all selling over the retail price, as high as $2950. This is because new ones are still not readily available yet in the US, most legit retailers having a 2 week wait or more.

Many of these used D60's you see on ebay now are from people who got theirs early in the summer. They know they can sell their used one now at a profit, and then have another brand new one in 2 weeks at regular retail price. Ebay is full of such opportunists.

For $1500-$1800, you can find a new or like-new D30. That may be your best option if you can't afford the D60 body's retail price. The only way to get a D60 in that price range is to wait a while. Probably at least until the 1Ds is shipping.
