I was wondering what the market value of these is at this point.. It has 9104 clicks on it so it has years of life left and doesnt have any scuffs or scratches on it.
I happen to think you'd sell it in a hearbeat at $2100, without any remaining warranty. These cameras just aren't going for any less than that that I've seen, and most are still priced above $2200.

This seems about right. I just bought a lightly used one off the B/S in this price range...and the UPS man is due here with it today.
there are alot of refurbs on e-bay with warranty around $2200-2350 which begs the question.... who would pay near that from some random seller .. but alot of people seem to do anyways
I understand completely why glass holds its value, but it stuns me how much people are willing to pay for used camera bodies.
Im thinking about a 5D and Ive been looking on the BS forum, anything under 2300ish goes in a heart beat. Thats a whole 12% below retail and you deal with all the uncertianty/warranty/potential headaches of a private sale.
So I guess to anwer the OP question, you could get a very good price for it.
I bought my 5D from the BS forum in Jan. 2006 for $2550. 1 month ago, I sold my mint condition 5D with 6K clicks on my local CraigsList for $2200 cash.
That's not bad at all! I basically paid $20 per month to own a really nice camera.
Now I got a 1D MKII for a great price. I may not lost any money when I am ready to sell again which will be for 3D or 5D MKII.
bit of a red herring but 9600 seems a lot for me ..
is that professional use?
I think I go out quite a lot and I have ony done 1200 clicks since dec05. I must be a bit of a slacker,
How many can one expect to get out of a 5d for example?
