Hey guys and gals! I'm trying to sell a camera for a friend online. I am wondering what a lightly used Nikon N65 camera body would sell for? Also there are two lenses that she wants sold as well, and they are Nikon mount Sigma 28-90mm D and a Nikon mount Sigma 70-300mm D. I am fimilar with Canon lens mount EOS for example but not of Nikons. I do know that these lenses will mount to this camera body. Can you help me place a fair resale value on these items.

    Looking at recently "completed" auctions at EBay, most of these cameras sold for $50-$70 (plus shipping).

    I only found one completed auction which appears to have included "both" of those lenses and it finished at $76 plus shipping. Again, that was for both lenses (supposedly in "new" condition).

    Kef.com (a fairly reputable used camera dealer) has the following:

    Nikon n65 or f65 bodies for prices or $59 - $210 depending on useage

    The two lenses sell for around $200 each.

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    Thanks guys! I'm looking at the camera and it is in good shape, a few small scratches and the like but it looks nice. According to my friend the camera was used only briefly while her other was being repaired, so the shutter should have very low clicks on it. I was thinking maybe $350 for the whole package, body, lenses, case.
