I sold my Nikon D7000, low shutter count, along with a Promaster grip, Nikon 18-70 lens, UV filter, 16G Lexar Pro SD card and a small Tamrac bag for $300. All items are in very good condition. I take car of my photo gear. Somehow I misplaced the batteries. I ordered a new one from Amazon for $49 and the buyer wanted me to get them a second one at their cost. (getting reimbursed for it tomorrow). I gave her a battery out of my D7100 that I got this year so she can use the camera while on vacation next week. The batteries arrived early. I sent her a text telling her and she wants both new batteries. o_O I told her that had I not misplaced the battery she would have a used one. She then complained about should get the new one since she spent so much. :rolleyes: She got a steal and whines about whether she gets a new battery or used. See if I sell anything to a friend ever again.:twisted:

She got all of that for $300 and says she paid too much? All you can do is roll your eyes.

Tell her you'll buy it all back for $300 and re-sale it here.
I'll pay you $325 ( shipped ) to my house, and you can keep the new batteries.

Just wow. Sweeeet deal, sounds like ungrateful clueless person.
This is tame compared to some of the stories I have heard about her, after I sold her the camera. I neglected to mention in the OP that when we made the deal, i took the camera to her and she gave me $100 as a first payment. I should have refused to sell the camera, but since I considered her a friend, I did the deal anyway. She did pay $100 a week. I have since found out she still owes someone else a couple thousand from 9 years ago.

I have always followed this rule - never sell to a friend. It has worked for me for many years.
