So, I'm considering selling my HC9 (with wide angle lens) someway, somehow, in efforts to help fund a new camera. What would you expect to pay for a Sony HDR-HC9 with wide angle lens, 1 battery, charger, nice bag, original box, manual, and about 20 hours total on the camera, with most being capturing for editing, and full warrenty?
I know this is entirely subjective, but any estimate will help me. I appreciate your comments.

I was looking at the HC9 and B&H has it for $880. So that is the starting price. Knock about 1/3 off for it being "used". The minute you open the box it's used. But, B&H also includes a copy of Vegas 8 at that price. So expect $600+ on eBay. It all depends on how many people want an HC9. :)
At this point we are only 2 months from CES at which time we'll learn if Sony will release an EXMOR version in 2009.

Brian -
probably around $700 on eBay for the kit if you've got the original box and it's in good shape, at $600 it would fly, $700 would be reasonable, much above that, it's tough to get in this economy...
IF the WA is a Sony, you could add some for that, particularly for an HG lens, those are hard to come by at much less than "street" prices.
Prices are soft, but things are still bringing decent money out there.
