Just now I called off a Craigslist transaction - to purchase a D750 "body only" for $1450, because the seller's idea of 'body only' was the bare body of the camera - no battery, battery charger, strap, or anything else. I have seen 'body only' offers everywhere, and they essentially mean 'no lens included'. The rest of the stuff has always been included, even for used cameras.
While I found his take surprising, I also wondered how he managed to get this camera with nothing else. He claimed he bought it from B&H like that, because he has the D810 and he shared the battery, the charger and what-not from that. And he says "I don't use straps". I asked him if he'd reduce the price, but of course he would not. By then I was already walking from the whole thing as it started to smell funny.
I had been talking to him for a week since he posted. At first he said he was selling because he's a professional photographer, a Canon guy, and had tried this D750 out but could not manage the change to Nikon. Days later he's talking about his D810!
Used D750s on Amazon (from 6th Avenue Express, and others) are selling near the $1500 point, with everything included (but the lens) as in a new piece; I was hoping to do a hands-on check by buying locally; guess I'll wait a bit.
