Not compared to prices around here. The used camera stores here (Hunt's
and some others) sell things much lower than they go on EBay, and
prices at the PHSNE camera shows (2/year) are also much lower than
EBay's typical prices. I have never considered EBay a place where
values could be found. I also do quite a bit of business with Charlotte
Camera Brokers, and their prices are really good, too. I think it just
depends on where you live and what you are looking for.
