Thinking of selling my kit !

I'm not really using my camera so I was thinking of putting it up for sale. But, I'm not sure how much to ask for it.

It's a Nikon D40 with kit lens, extra battery (not original), Ir remote, 50mm 1.8
af d lens, 55-200 afs vr lens, Sigma ef500 dg super flash gun. All boxed with manuals. There is also an old Cobra slr case which will hold the camera with 55-200 lens attached.

How much should I expect to get for this lot ?

Any help will be appreciated

Re: Thinking of selling my kit !

I've had a quick scout around the net.... Would I be asking too much if I advertised at around the £ 410.. mark ?

Or would I be better splitting and selling each individual item ?

Probably not, but be prepared to be offered £300 and to have to think long and hard about it... then politely decline.

Re: Thinking of selling my kit !

I generally think you would realise more return selling separately, would suggest you check out fleabay for rough estimates and go from there.
Can you also make sure you use the classifieds for buying and selling equipment if you do choose to sell
MOD COMMENT
have re-opened this as requested but please keep to the subject of possible re-sale value and not to offering interest in a sale and/or purchase thanks.
