Are you keeping the NX500? I didn't see it listed.

Why? You want one?

It's on my maybe list. I'm happy with my NX300, so I'd only buy the 500 if I can't resist the price.

I missed a mint one on Ebay for about $225 because I got sidetracked (shiny object.)

That price was super low. You sure it sold for that? I'm looking to sell one with the 16mm F2.4 and 30mm F2 pancake primes plus extra battery for $650. But I decided not to sell on eBay. If I can't get good money for it, it makes more sense to keep it.

I recall that it had a lens that I knew I could easily sell to put the camera price at $225. I paid $180 for my 30mm f/2, and I see the 16mm going in the $125 range. At that, you're putting a value of $345 on your camera. Of course a package vs individual pieces isn't always comparable.

So - I don't think you're out of line at $650.

Last week a mint package, NX500 with 16-50PZ and 50-200 had no bidders at $499. The guy re-listed it right away for BIN $749. Huh? Ebay is an odd place sometimes.

Yeah, I don't know. I doubt his will sell. I had mine up for a week at $650 starting price with those 2 lenses (which I thought was a pretty low price) and no bids. Plus I didn't want to pay eBay's exorbitant 10% fee. The key for me is to get rid of the NX500 for the Fuji X-T20 as my EDC camera and keep the NX1. So if I can't get at least half of the way there on purchase price of the X-T20 it's pretty much pointless for me to sell the NX500. Sometimes you have to take emotion and desire out of the equation and do what makes sense financially. The NX500 is too good of a camera to get rid of for cheap and anything less you might as well just use it until it dies or give it to a budding photographer friend as a gift.
