It is a good camera to practice with but not something that is going to pay your rent I am afraid.
There are a few on an auction site going quite cheaply. For example there is one with 2 lenses and a flash for £39.99
Maybe the lenses you have are better though so you can check those out.

There was a huge wasp in my garage at the weekend. I can't really compete in this thread...
Anyway...if you don't want the kit you could offer it to the disabled photographers society or to some other charity or maybe to a school or college. Or you could just enjoy it yourself.

the Cokin filters are as good today as they were then
pop them up for sale here if you like - though you have to log up a certain number of posts before you can sell
Nahh its was'nt mine but then its the family house spoke to my dad today and its his, he just not used it in years he totally forgot about it. Could i use the Cokin Filters in my Sony Alpha? what would i need to buy to use them...
The square Cokin filters will work fine on the Alpha.
Basically the system works with 3 components
1) The Filter (s)
2) A Holder for the filter(s)
3) An Adaptor ring - this screws into the filter thread on your lens and connects to the holder.
So you need an adaptor ring for each size of lens filter thread that you want to use it with.
You then attach the the adaptor + holder to your lens, and slot in the filter(s) you want to use.
Cokin filters come in a few different standard sizes, if it's one of the 'small' ones (A?) then it may well cause vignetting on wider angle lenses.
