As of a 7:22pm ET recheck, the eBay listing has ended/closed… For the big picture, check the Stock Status Tracker…
To the Land of eBay we go with what looks like a higher risk purchase than a retail purchase, so if you are risk-averse you may want to skip this. eBay seller “Smart Pawn Shopper” (99.8%, Southern California) is offering a used Nikon D850 body only for $2800 with free shipping. The listing has pictures of the actual camera and a list of what’s included. They also have “Make Offer” enabled. Check the listing and the seller in detail before buying if interested. Again, this is a higher risk purchase, so if the chance of problems keeps you up at night, just avoid it 🙂
To the eBay Deals we go where the BuyDIG eBay store is offering the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D7500 body only for $900 with free shipping and a 90-day Nikon USA warranty. Limit up to three per buyer.
The new condition price at authorized Nikon USA dealers is $1250 as you can see at this week’s APS-C dSLR price charts. A number of other Nikon dSLRs are on sale in refurbished condition, you can find them in our previous Nikon DSLR Gear posts…
In other eBay action, eBay seller “Card Cash” (98.5%, New Jersey) is offering a $50 preowned Jamba Juice Gift Card for $35.49 with free shipping. This is a physical gift card. It comes with 45 day guarantee. Limit up to five per customer. Higher risk, higher rewards as they say.

I just updated the new line-up of the Stock Status Tracker (with the Fuji X-H1 added, the X100F and GH5 removed) and we have a greed price war on the imported Nikon D850 body only front. “Deals All Year” went greedy and skyrocketed their prices from $3240 to $3800, but they just got undercut by another imported, 6ave on eBay is offering the new condition imported grey market with a 1-year seller (not Nikon USA) warranty for $3200 with free shipping, with a maximum of three per customer. The new condition price at authorized Nikon USA dealers is $3300.
PS: if you need a full frame Nikon DSLR now, want the D850 but the waiting is driving you mad, there are some good deals on other refurbished Nikon DSLRs that can keep you going until/unless the D850 becomes available. You won’t lose as much money selling/trading a refurbished DSLR (or you can keep it as a backup).
As you can tell by today’s posts so far, the first round of price-checking for the Price Charts is the 35mm Full Frame Cameras (iLC or Fixed Lens). The Nikon D610 body only goes for $1500 at authorized Nikon USA dealers, but if you are willing to the manufacturer refurbished, you can pay just over 2/3rds of that, going for $1040 with free shipping at Adorama with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty.
If you are going to get the Nikon D810, since it is no longer the latest model [that’s the elusive Nikon D850 – see Stock Status Tracker], you might as well go the way of the refurbished and save a significant amount of money.
The new condition Nikon D810 body only goes for $2800 at authorized dealers, but if you go the manufacturer refurbished route, you can get it for $1900 with free shipping at Adorama with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty. That’s $900 less!
PS: “90D” is short for 90 days, “W” is short for Warranty. I am trying to keep blog-post titles one line with the desktop/laptop view. If they go for more than one line, they’d better fill up the second line, otherwise they are eating up space.
Another disappearing act! The Nikon D810A is no longer available for purchase from B&H Photo and Adorama, but if you still want to get it in new condition from an authorized dealer Amazon itself has it for its normal price of $3800 with a maximum of three per customer. It is in the all-encompassing “temporarily out of stock” shipping estimate though.
The time is right in the year for a brand new Price Charts series to begin! I have began doing the spreadsheet work and price-checking! This will continue for this week (other things equal) and you may see an increase in deals/posts featuring the cameras that are tracked in the Price Charts as the price-checks surface different kinds of deals directly or indirectly.
If you want to re-familiarize yourself with the Price Charts series, this link shows all previous editions (going back to December 2014).
The first thing that surfaced is the Nikon D5 Anniversary edition is starting to run out. The camera is marked Discontinued and unorderable at B&H Photo but it remains in-stock at Adorama for the five of you that may interested in it 🙂 Amazon itself still has it as “not yet released” but it’s still available for $8000 by Adorama and Unique Photo thru Amazon. Paying for this with an Amazon Prime VISA or Prime Store Card gets you a 5% statement credit, which in this case it’s a pretty nice $400 amount!
The new condition Nikon D7500 APS-C body only goes for $1250 in new condition at authorized Nikon USA dealers such as Amazon and Adorama. But if you want to pay 3/4ths of that price…
… to the eBay Deals we geaux, where the BuyDIG eBAY store is offering the D7500 body only in manufacturer refurbished condition with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty for $900 with free shipping. Limit up to three per customer at the sale price.
PS: if you are having a bit of a deja vu, that’s because three days ago we posted a similar day for the refurbished D750 for $1200 also by BuyDIG upon eBAY.
The Nikon D750 body only goes for $1800 in new condition at authorized Nikon USA dealers such as Amazon and Adorama. But if you want to pay 2/3rds of that price…
… to the eBay Deals we geaux, where the BuyDIG eBAY store is offering the D750 body only in manufacturer refurbished condition with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty for $1200 with free shipping. Limit up to three per customer at the sale price.
If you are comfortable with imported grey-market DSLRs that come without a warranty [there’s no mention of any warranty included in the eBay listing], then to the eBay Deals we geaux…
… yes, Mardi Gras time, so “geaux’ is the official spelling of “go”, where eBay seller “Photo4Less” (100%, Brooklyn) is offering the new condition imported grey-market Nikon D7200 body only for $680 with free shipping. Limit up to five per buyer. Over 1700 units got sold from this listing per the eBay data over there.
A new development after today’s Stock Status Tracker update. We have another discount on the Imported Grey Market Nikon D850 Body on eBay by eBay seller Deals All Year, it dropped from $3250 to $3230 with free shipping and a 1-year seller warranty. The new condition price at authorized Nikon USA dealers is $3300.
As far as the other tracked cameras, it is status quo. Both the Sony a7r III and Panasonic G9 are steadily available at authorized dealers, although individual sellers may go in and out.
On a meta note, this is the last time we have the Fuji X100S in the Stock Tracker. The camera has been steady in prices, both used and new for a while now, so it will be retired. However, I am saving the entries, so if something happens that necessitates its return, it will be very easy to bring it back!
IF there are any other cameras or lenses you’d like to see tracked, please leave a comment here or at the Stock Tracker or the online contact form…
Good until 2/18/18 (or earlier if sold out), coupon code 50SAVE drops the price of the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D3300 Two Lens Kit from $449 to $399 with free shipping. The two lenses are both DX VR II, the 18-55 and 55-200 duo. They come with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty as usual. The coupon may also be available to clip on the product page.
Back to the eBay Deals we go, where the Buydig eBay store is offering the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D5500 with 18-55 DX VR for $450 with free shipping and a 90-day Nikon USA warranty. Limit up to three per eBay customer. Over 420 units have been sold so far per the eBay listing. This is in the black color scheme.
Or if you prefer a “take pictures with” entry-point into the Nikon DSLR system for about half that, Adorama is offering the refurbished Nikon D3100 with 18-55 for $229 with free shipping and a 90-day warranty in the red color scheme of the DSLR.
If you want a low-cost entry-point into the Nikon DSLR system, for a limited time, Adorama is offering the red color scheme of the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D3100 with 18-55 DX VR for $230 with free shipping and a 90-day Nikon USA warranty. This is an older DSLR obviously but it’s $229 🙂
This auction ended for $2950 with 62 bids placed…
A quick look at the Stock Status Tracker reminded us that today is the last day of the user-listed Nikon D850 body only auction. As of the time of writing (aka OP as in Original Post as in 10:26am ET), the price is $2950 with 62 bids. Shipping is an extra $13~.
Another development from the update of the Stock Status Tracker is another “sale by user” for the Nikon D850 body only. It is in USED condition and an Auction-style eBay Listing. It is currently going for $2800 with 59 bids. It ships from North Carolina for $13, from a 100% eBay user (91 transactions). The auction ends on Monday at 3:32pm eastern. Mayhaps the Superbowl will distract some and the price won’t skyrocket 🙂
In other stock update action, the Panasonic G9 body only is back in-stock at B&H Photo for its starting price of $1700 with free shipping…

Canon and Nikon fans, it’s your time at KEH Camera with a two day coupon running until Sunday 2/4/18 at 11:59pm eastern. Coupon code CANNIK02A gets you 8% off used Canon and Nikon camera gear. As usual, their shopping cart is the ultimate decider on what is eligible. Separately, the KEH Camera website offers free shipping on orders of $49 or more (continental 48 US States).
The second development from the just-updated Stock Status Tracker is that the new condition imported grey market Nikon D850 body only by eBay seller “Deals All Year” has now dropped to $3250. The new condition at authorized Nikon USA dealers is $3300 (and still hard to find).
If you happen to want both the Nikon D7500 APS-C DSLR and the 18-55 DX VR and 70-300 f4.5-6.3G VR AF-P lenses, Costco has them in a bundle for $1600 with free shipping. You also get a 2-year extended warranty on the camera body (not the lenses) along with a 32GB SD card, an extra battery, a Nikon branded gagdet bag and a Nikon online class.
Non-members can buy this online with a 5% surcharge, which in this case is $80 more. Given that an annual Costco membership is $60 (Gold Star individual or Business member), it makes sense to sign up for a membership instead of paying the $80 non-member surcharge. Occasionally they have new member promotions that give you some freebies for your first membership year. Then with a membership you buy a mountain of toilet paper and “tp” all your frenemies 😉
This bundle may also be available at your local Costco store but they don’t have a store look-up option (yet???) on their website.
Another thing that surfaced during the Stock Status Update is that there are two live classic bid-style auctions on the Nikon D850 body only running on eBay and as fate would have it, they both end a few hours apart from each other. The listings end next Tuesday though, so the prices will definitely go up by then.
These are sold by individual eBay users, not camera retailers…
+ Auction #1 (eBay) in New-Other condition
+ $1675 with 44 bids as of blog-posting time
+ Auction #2 (eBay) in NEW condition
+ $1852 with 1 bid as of blog-posting time
Another day, another update of the Stock Status Tracker and we have some action on the Nikon D850 body only. The camera is offered in new condition, imported grey-market with a 1-year seller warranty for $2280 with free shipping by eBay seller Deals All Year (99.8%, New Jersey, up to three per customer).
The new condition price at authorized Nikon USA dealers is $3300.
If you don’t have to have the new condition Nikon D750, then you can get a solid discount (without any free accessories) if you go manufacturer refurbished…
… to the eBay Deals we go, where the BuyDIG eBay store is offering the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D750 body only for $1230 with free shipping and a 90-day Nikon USA warranty. Limit up to three per customer at the sale price. Over 800 units have been sold so far from this listing per eBay.
B&H has it refurbished as well but for $1399 with free expedited shipping.
PS: if you are participating in eBay Bucks, don’t forget to activate the 6% eBay Bucks promotion before making the purchase!
As of a 6pm ET recheck, this eBay listing has ended… For future updates, check the Stock Status Tracker…
