HOW MUCH would you pay for a 5D body with 25k actuations with a Canon body grip, and 4 canon BP 511A batteries with all the strap, cd, cables etc included?

Just curious as to what the FMer's pricing is on such a package......

Just remember that it is 200-300 to send the camera in.
Also Remember that the batteries may or may not be any good.

I bought a used 5D and had to send it in because of a dirty sensor and viewfinder.

A new 5D is about 1600-1700 without the grip.

I kind of wish I bought a new one.

Getting a sensor replaced is like getting an oil change...

I do agree with what you are saying that the batteries may not be any good though.

I bought a refurbished one from Adorama for $1500 (this past summer). Seemed a little high to me, when comparing to those on the B+S forums, but I wanted one that had already went through Canon for a tune-up.

The camera was in perfect condition, it really looked like it had never even been used. I've been a happy camper and have already clicked off 7K actuations (give or take).

As an aside, I noticed the price for refurbs (at Adorama) climbing in the fall - my guess is they are becoming harder to come by? I dunno...

The alone grip holds it value (usable with multiple bodies), so that's still in the $100-200 range. Canon-branded batteries are going to have a bit of a premium (~$20-40) over generics (which go for ~$10). For the 5D body, and 25k actuations is pretty low (for a pro anyway), so it should be in good shape. I think Davenfl's estimate above is pretty spot on. For just the body, I would expect around $1k even.

I've paid something around this much for the three used cameras I bought on B&S - sound almost like the ones you are describing. You'll pay more if you go through ebay or DWF.

Never had an issue with the ones I've bought. I did have to send my own camera back in to replace the mirror, but that was a free fix as I suppose that is a known issue with the 5Ds.

I tried to sell mine with an intermittent LCD problem (as in, once every 6 months) for like $900.00 CAD, nobody wanted it - but, now I use it as my backup/street cam, kinda glad I did. x2 1dsmkii's + x2 5D's ftw!

i've sold that exact package last year for $1600 .. and have seen the same going for around 1300-1400 .. so anything lower than that would be a nice pick up i think ..

ebay batteries work fine and are $12 for two. I sold a clean cam with grip and boxes, etc for $1300, so 1100-1400

if it hasnt had the canon mirror recall done, you get to send it in for free and get it cleaned and checked out for free.

I paid $1200 for both of my bodies. One is in okay condition and functions perfectly. The other was mint when I bought it. Grips and batteries are cheap. I get more shots with my aftermarket eBay batteries than I do with the Canon OEM batteries that came with the bodies. One of them came with Impact batteries....those are horrible.

Paid 1200 for same kit for only 11k I wouldn't buy a 25k for that price though.

Considering these nicer camera shutters are rated for 100k actuations, 25k isn't really that much in the grand scheme of things. I'd pay about 1200-1300 USD for a 5D.
