p.1 #1 · What's the real value of a used D750 body?
With what do grey d750's available for 1599.95 to 1750.00 or so, what do you guys fiqure a used USA body is worth? I don't think a used body is worth as much as a new one so I, figure a Used USA to be worth around 1450.00 and a used grey market version to be worth around 1299.95. I think a 10% from greymarket price makes sense for a used USA body What do you figure, and more importantly why?

Yea,I kinda feel that at 1450.00 it's a deal, but folks must be smoking something while posting their asking prices?Do they think it's more valuable when there's a shortage, when the shortage was caused by the recall? Besides, Nikon said that they would fix all cameras despite country of origin. Used sellers are competing with new grey market cameras. I'll be damned if I pay more for a used camera then I can buy a new one!

I still think a used USA body in mint/ near mint condition with less than 10.000 actuations is still worth more than a new gray market body. Especially with this flare issue. Makes me want to have no problems getting repair work done under warranty or not in the future.

How much a used D750 can command depends a great deal on factors, such as shutter count, overall shape and conditions. I'd say it should be between $1300 and $1500 by February since it should be $500 to $600 North of that of used D600.

The only D750s sold on the Buy and Sell thread at depressed prices were grey market models without warranty. There doesn't seem to be a rush to sell at bargain basement prices. This is still a very well reviewed and regarded camera. Perhaps Nikon will feel pressed to offer some form of discount should sales languish. The recall certainly doesn't help. It is possible, however, that a quick response will protect Nikon in the longer run. The D610 was a fiasco, a fix not acknowledged as a fix that depressed prices eventually for both the D600 and D610. Certainly the arrival of the D750 didn't help the market for either camera.
I'll be following prices for this camera because it may be my next purchase. Let's see what happens...

The repaired d750's will sell high, just like they did before the flare repair...don't forget, the camera is in demand, and it performs really, really well on all fronts..and that hasn't changed. I think the dollar will keep the grey market going with cheap cameras, and that will have some impact on pricing, especially of used usa models. If you can get a new, grey for $1600 I think a low mileage usa model should be a little higher...but not much. I'm likely to be looking for a second body after the dust has settled on the repair...Although the first one I got for a really great price that will be difficult to beat.

I think some are forgetting that the IQ, DR, AF, high ISO performance...are all top notch, and feel that the problem negates its otherwise excellent performance. It's a great camera all around, even with the banding/flare/whatever you want to call it.
There are many pros using it, and happily so. I think these numbers will only continue to rise.
And, the problem is fixable in post. Not a one-button click fix, but it can be done, and for the small percentage of images that are actually affected, it's not that big a deal.
I don't plan on selling mine, but I'll happily pick up another on the cheap, if the opportunity presents itself.
