when I don't have money to buy fun things. Just saw this on craigslist for $2000 for the whole shebang.

Really isn't that great of deal for $2k I don't think
A new D300 can be had for around $1300, and a 70-300 VR, is around $550 I think (awesome lens for the money)
50mm 1.8 can be picked up used for around $75, a Qantaray anthing would never go on anything I own, and ext tubes are of fairly limited usefulness (IMHO, to each his own)
Not a horrible deal, but I think you could probably find all those items used for that price pretty easily, or even less
Ive seen D300's selling for less than $1000, and I bought my 70-300 VR for $475 for example. I'm sure you could pick up the other stuff for under $500 as well assuming you really wanted each piece
I was going to say, $2000 doesn't sound like an unpassable deal. D300's are starting to come down to the 1000-1300 range and that makes for getting a seriously better kit than the one on CL for less than 2000.
hmm...I've been looking and I've found a D300 for $1350 but the 70-300 VR was around $520, the 50mm was $250 and the backpack was $150 (not sure what flashes are being sold with all this stuff but if they're decent speedlights then those are going to be around $200 each). Not counting the speedlights or filter or tubes (agreed that the filter and tubes are unnecessary) it's still over $2000. If they are decent speedlights then it's still a deal. *shrug* who knows. I still cry a little when I see stuff I want but can't afford.
