Advice about selling my fs100 at DVinfo.net

Hey all, been a while since I've been around.

Since I bought my FS100, my interests have focused on learning 3D animation. Because of that, my camera has kind of found its way into the gear room collecting dust. I bought my FS100, and fmu128 , from B&H back in November 2011. I don't think the camera has had 3 hours of use on it. I did not get the kit lens.

I see that B&H is selling these new for $3999, and fmu for $639. I'm wanting to list my camera for sale, and was wondering what might be an acceptable price to offer it at? I was thinking $3700 with fmu, and Metabones version 1 adter, for EOS lens. I have all the cables, charger, and manual, that came with the camera, I just don't have the original box.

Also, and advice on a good place to list for sale?

Edit, just remembered I will include the Berkey Systems top plate,and handle. Thinking $4000 for complete kit.
Thank you for the help.

I just bought a used FS100 with 10 hrs on it with original box and everything that comes with the camera...plus they threw in a NP-f970 battery. Cost $3,400.00. Good luck!

With the FMU and Metabones you've got $1,000 worth of things you're including. A new one is $4K now, so if I were you I'd ask that with the goodies. Or just sell the body for $3500 if they didn't want the other items. You can probably sell them elsewhere. If I could get the FMU cheap I might be interested in it.

Definitely separate it all. I never feel that people looking for a camera are also looking for "bundled" items. If they are, you can decide which bits and pieces you'll include and at what cost. Most of us have their own plans about what pieces make up the most effective kit. And people just looking for "a camera" probably don't know the value of the extras anyways. Post it separate here and wherever else you frequent, and after that, to eBay to find the audience that is actually looking for that specific specialized part you're selling.
