SOLD: Nikon D7000 Kit

I ordered the kit (body and 18-105mm VR lens) from Amazon just to take advantage of the current massive discounts on f/2.8 zooms. Now my mission has been completed and I no longer need the kit. Needless to say, it is still sitting inside the box. Untouched, unopened, US model. If you can get one from B&H today it cannot be any more new than mine!

I'm asking for $1,500 or the best offer. Since this is my first post, I'd like to keep things simple to protect you and myself: local transaction (LA/Orange County) at a public place and in cash only. Please PM me if you are interested.

    What a thread: 200+ views and not even a single response?! Either there are no SoCal users here or ...

    So, here you go ... how about $1,400? OBO

    And I forgot to mention: the body and the lens can be sold separately.

    Warranty
    How does that work? I am interested but understand the warranty is to the original purchaser only

    Yep, NO warranty to anyone other than the original purchaser. GH

    That's not exactly true. If the warranty card was never filled out or the original purchaser never registered the product with Nikon, a blank warranty card may still be used for service claim by the 2nd owner, but it may help if the 2nd owner retains the original receipt.

    Technically warranties are not transferable, but think about this - does nobody purchase a camera as a gift? If the camera was only recently purchased I'm sure the warranty will be valid for the "gifted" owner. This happens all the time.

    From The Nikon Website
    A dated receipt is needed to get warranty.

    Exactly. They only need the purchase date to determine if it is under warranty -- at least this has been my experience with their El Segundo staff so far.

    I find your "cash only, public place......etc." to be a wee bit, shall we say "cloak and dagger".

    I don't get it. It is a standard Craigslist way of transaction. If you are a seller, don't you want your payment to be guaranteed in some way?

    sure? I've had them use the serial number for date of manufacturing and calculate warranty coverage from that date. but that was a lens, not a body. not sure if it matters.

    I think most would be a bit weary of such transactions but I've never had any issues working like this with people. If you still have the kit at the end of this month when I get my tax refund I'll definitely inquire if Gary has already sold his. (the other post here selling a D7000)
    I am in San Bernardino not far from you and I could pay cash of course.
    I recently sold off quite a bit of pro audio gear and some of it was not practical to ship so the buyer came to my house to pick up the merch.....
    I have a feeling this body wont be available for some time and I'd rather have one this month vs who knows when.....

    I'd like to bring this thread to a closure: the kit is no longer available. Thanks.
