Hi guys,

First off, hi. I'm new.

Second, I know this is a Canon forum, but I was wondering whether or not a Nikon D3000 for $15 was a deal too good to be true or real.

includes camera itself, AF-S DX VR 18-55mm Lens, hood, 3 filter kit, cleaning pen, 8gb SD card, charger, remote control, and the original stuff that came in the box)

I want to show y'all, but I'm afraid someone will come along and take it :-) It says there are signs of cosmetic wear, and the seller claims it's in pristine condition.

Seller's reputation is 100% positive feedback.

I would like to know; this may be one of the best deals I have had in a long time! :D

I'd expect 150-200 for the body+lens. Looks scammy.

Agreed. I too would expect the seller to pay me $150-200 to take a Nikon off their hands.

Mmmhmm... this is the exact reason why I'm asking you all haha. I see all the others from $100-$500.. was kinda skeptical about this one.

Sometimes you see vintage film stuff undervalued similarly after it's been in the cellar for half a century.

But a DSLR... unless the wife is selling his equipment after a divorce, I say scam.
