Canon EOS 10d body + Portrait Grip + Charger /$200/

I bought this used back in 2007. I have not used it a huge deal but did have the shutter replaced in 2008. Since then it has had 10k actuations so still lots of life left. This is an awesome starter camera- particularly if you have any ef lenses around (does NOT accept the newer EFS lenses). /Does not include batteries. All of mine are dead and worthless- you can pick them up cheaply though as this was a common battery type (BP-511)
Canon EOS 5d body + Charger /$650/

I bought this new in the summer of 2007. It is a remarkable camera and has taken many spectacular images for me over the years. As its traveled a lot it also has a lot of visible wear and tear. There are many scuff marks and there is metal showing in areas. It also has at least 150k+ actuations so that is why I am selling it so cheaply. That said- it still takes wonderful pictures but if you are going to use it a lot then it might need a new shutter in the future. As this is full frame it only accepts EF lenses. /Does not include batteries. All of mine are dead and worthless- you can pick them up cheaply though as this was a common battery type (BP-511)
Canon EF 70-200 f2.8L+case+ tripod collar/$850

This is probably the best value here- this lens is absolutely delightful to use. You have a decent zoom and a nice wide 2.8 aperture to blur the background out with. I have used this lens extensively but also taken care of it. I stopped using it in 2009 as I got the image stabilized version which helps the video work that I now do. A month before though I'd sent it in to Canon to be refurbished and tightened up (the lens barrel had become loose from so much use). Externally it is scuffed but other than that it is like new- a good bargain compared to buying one new at $1,359 from B&H!
Canon EF 17-40 f4L+lens bag /$250

This lens has a nasty scratch (see picture link at the top) which causes lens distortions, particularly when looking into light and when using a high aperture- this is why it is priced well below its retail of $750. The filter ring is also badly bruised. You can get a UV filter on but you have to make sure you do it carefully. The scratch also affects the AF function if you use the center focus point. I do not know how much it would be to repair this. This would be a good value though for someone with a full frame sensor who wanted a wide which they could with a low aperture.
