Used Canon XL1S Price at DVinfo.net

Hey all,

Having come into some money I'm looking to upgrade my trusty XL1S to either the XHA1S or the XLH1A, depending on me working out my priorities.

As a result I'm wanting to offload my XL1S to generate a little bit of cash for other equipment I'm getting (but that's a whole other story).

I've got the XL1S complete with all the accessories from the original box (and the box itself come to think of it), the MA-200 Dual XLR Adapter/Shoulder Pad, and the Canon HC-3100 Aluminium System Case to go with it.

Given it's obsoleteness, what do you think is a realistic price that I could get for this?

I fired off an email to H Prestons, given their "Wanted - all video equipment - good prices paid" ad, to see what they'd offer - they replied asking if they could offer a trade-in price. Given that they don't have either of the cameras I'm looking for on their site, I stated which cameras they were and whether they could give me a standalone price for the XL1S anyway. They didn't reply.

I have noticed that they do have a used XL1S for sale on their site already - the bog standard kit with an additional battery charger - for £1,400. Not quite convinced about that price though....

Had a glance at prices on eBay (though don't want to sell on there) and I doubt if I'd be able to get more than £700-800 for it, but I'm certainly not an expert so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
