fair price for used X-T1?

[Elmo]

Rented a X-100T for Thailand vacation last summer and am ready to commit to a X-T1.  

 

I'm in the NW and today on Craigslist saw one body for $800 and another for $850.  The second listing also would include the 18-55 lens for $1155.

 

What are thoughts on a fair price for used body or body/18-55 set considering the recent price reductions (body - $1k and body+18-55 for $1.3k)?

 

Also interested in reputable used camera equipment websites as an alternative to Craisglist.

Price seems reasonable. I was thinking of selling my X-T1 (like new, hardly used, not a single scratch) with the 18-55 lens for $1099 or with the 18-135 lens for $1299.

Last week I bought an excellent condition/like new black X-T1 on eBay for $740. 

 

Fred Miranda and eBay prices are in the mid to upper $700s.

 

$800 seems like a fair price if in excellent condition, particularly since you're dealing locally.

 

KEH is perhaps the largest and most reputable dealer of used equipment.  BH, Adorama, Cameta, and Roberts are also good used resellers.

prices are all over the place and much depends on your local situation and currency.

 

$850 is somewhat Cheap for us Europeans which are more likely to pay €850.

 

Good luck!

I too am researching used xt1 with and without 18-55. $1150-1200  and $850-900 seem about right for Amazon and for retailers like B&H and Adorama. 

[Elmo]

So if it's $850 to $900 for used body from Amazon, Adorama, etc., then I'd expect $700 to $750 for private party off of Craigslist.  Sound reasonable?

[yukosteel]

I'd say 700-800 for X-T1 without warranty, and 800-850 for gently used official X-T1 with still valid warranty.

[Elmo]

So I assume from the last comment that warranties are transferable between private parties?  What specific documents would I need and/or steps to take post transaction for Fuji to treat the warranty and authentic?

[Elmo]

Should have checked first.   This is what I found on the Fuji USA site.

 

The Products contained in this package are warranted to the original end user purchaser by FUJIFILM North America Corporation (“Fujifilm”) only against defects in workmanship and materials for a period of (i) one (1) full year regarding digital camera and lens Products; and (ii) ninety (90) days regarding lithium battery, AC adapter and battery charger Products, from the date of purchase by the original end user, as documented by original computer generated or printed cash register receipt (“Warranty Period”) from an authorized FUJIFILM Products dealer (which authorized dealer does not include an authorized dealer’s third unauthorized party subdealers or sub-sellers) located within the U.S. This limited warranty does not apply to any Product purchased outside the U.S. at any time, or Products purchased from a dealer, subdealer, distributor, seller, sub-seller, or otherwise third party which has not been authorized by Fujifilm to sell the Products within the U.S. This limited warranty also does not apply to any used, second-hand, previously sold or owned, refurbished or reconditioned Products, such as, without limitation, Products purchased through websites offering pre-owned products and products which are being resold by individuals.

This is Interesting, but only for people buying in the USA.

 

This might be a local problem because guarantees are subject to local legislation.

 

Even in the EU, where a number of general rules apply, there are localized exceptions.

 

The general rule is that guarantees are honored by the shop where the product was bought ( should the shop fail to do that because for example they ceased operating, then it goes to the distributor and if that too is not there then there is the company which made the products) and are, generally speaking, transferable.

 

In the NL the minimum legally valid guarantee of two years is certainly transferable ( there is also a principle guarantee  in Dutch law that a product is covered by defects throughout the whole of its foreseeable useful life but it is complicated to enforce).

 

What is not transferable is what shops sell as additional guarantee , which is, in fact, an insurance contract between the original buyer and an insurance company.

I just bought a used X-T1 and the 18-55 f/2.8-f/4 "kit" lens from KEH.com - they are both in excellent condition and my total for both was just under $1100 - I believe the camera body was just under $800.  I've learned it didn't come with a strap or the small flash that comes in a new box, but I'm really happy with it :-)
