Need a 1ds to complete a swimsuit calendar w proceeds to charity, willing to pay a realistic value for a camera model that came out over 10 years ago, even if it has 5,000 shutter actuations, it only has a resale value odf so much.
Like a fine automobile that listed in 1992 for a 100,000 dollars is now selling for 5,000 obo. We are talking a S Class mercedes 430. It has dropped 95,000 !
A 1Ds came out new with a price tag of 4900.00 and it has 50,000 shutter actuations with some signs of wear. I think $800.00 for a 1Ds 11.1 is a very fair price to pay, and 1200.00 for a 16.7 megapixel is very fair.
I will have cash around the 10th or 11th of April.
If you want to take a Cash deal for your 1Ds , then let me know, i will put it to good use, i do not buy cheap and resell on ebay ! I am a retired photographer needing equipment to come out of retirement for charity projects.
Look at it this way! If you can part with your camera for the price i am offering, you will be contributing to some needy charities !
Sincerely !
Nigel

Insanity. Talking down to photographers like they don’t know what their camera’s value is borders on absurd.
Current market value in Canada for a 1Ds is around $1500 to $2000 depending on condition. A 1Ds Mk.II is around $3500 to $4200.
Both were $8000 CDN new (plus tax and shipping) and the 1Ds did not come out ten years ago. It was released in 2003.
Charity or not, people don't give $1000 or in the case of the 1Ds Mk.II $3000 away.

You see that is the problem with most in the photographic industry, they sell you goods at top dollar, and when you want to trade up to the newest model, they offer you less than 40% of what you paid, and you pay extra for the new camera, so, don't tell me that i am insane, i have been photographing for 40 years, and i have seen it all.
The 1Ds is just an upgrade from the 1D, and it was out in the early 1990's, i am sorry, but the marketing of Canon continues to charge the cost of importing thier camers into Canada, and we still pay a lot more than U.S. customers pay for the same Camera, ie; 1Ds 21.megapixels in the US. is $7900.00, in Canada it is 9,990.00, why? When are dollar is worht as much or more ! Don't be arrogant ! I am not asking anyone to be a fool and doubt their value , but consider this , in Britain the 1Ds 11.1 megapixel is considered Obsolete. The 1Ds is = to Nikon D200 , and the market dropped out on it, and you can get a D200 for 950.00, why is $800.00 considered "Insanity" ? You my friend would do better if you Had a warm heart!
