Canon 550d Price

[Handy]

Hi everyone,
I've come across a 550d for sale at £510. It comes with 18-55 is lens, BG-E8 battery grip, charger, battery, oem battery and 4gb sdhc card. Described as mint, 1 year old and 4000 actuations. Is this a fair price?

I bought my 550D earlier this year second hand from LCE. Came as new, boxed with everything it should, 6 months warranty and only 1200 actuations. Bought it body only for £400 which at the time was pretty good. The grips are normally somewhere around £100 second hand on a good day and kit lens is worth about £40-£50.

All in all £510 sounds a reasonable deal if its boxed with all connections, instructions, cd's etc, although I would try to get it down below £500 if u can.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply.

I guess the warranty is worth paying for - I'd hate to pay out £500 only to find out I'd bought a box full if problems!

Cheers, Dean.

I mean to be fair there isnt a major amount that can or will go wrong as long as its looked after. If its somewhere local then I would suggest going and checking it out. If all is well then go for it.

Unfortunately, its in Cambridge so viewing would be difficult. I've decided to pass on this one, as I don't mind buying remotely if I know the seller - but in this instance I don't. If anyone local to Cambridge is interested, I'm happy to pass on the details.
