i've got some nikon equipment that im considering selling off as it's really not getting used much anymore, and just wanted to get a general idea of what the stuff is worth.


1-Nikon D80
1-Nikon 18-135 mm Lens
1-Nikon 50 mm Prime
2-Nikon SB600
1-Vivitar 285HV
1-Wireless Remote
1-Gary Fong Light Dome
2-Diffusers for 600 flashes
3-Flash stands WITH umbrella holders
3- White Umbrellas
1-Silver Umbrella
1-Softbox/Umbrella Hybrid
1-Large Camera bag to hold all of the Camera Equipment


Might be some other nik-naks, but like i said, just wondering what this might go for.


thanks

- Alec

This might be more appropriate for a marketplace thread.

In general, Nikon non-digital equipment retains value well (>70% on lenses in great condition, easily). I'd suggest checking eBay or KEH for specific prices on each of the items you've listed.

Yes .keh.com is a good place to look but those prices are higher then you can get as a private party.

The listed Nikon equipment might be worth as much as 70% of current new prices. The D80 is still in production so now it's value is high. Once it is replaced and is no longer current it's value will drop a bit.

The vivitar goes for about $40 Umbrellas, stands, light dome and that sort of stuff is hard to sell.
