Yes
What would you think the different percent wise should be. Between a mint body with 114 actuations, and an average body with say 15000 to 20000 actuations?
 
I would say it depends on the body model, age, original value, whether a warranty is offered, amongst other things.
 
D200 is very old hat now, used prices are about £100 - 150 mark.. Acuations wouldn't worry me on either

There are two. A d200 and a d3200.

That's not an Apples and Apples comparison I'm afraid, different generations of technology have different weightings on the aspects that affect value.

At the time the D200 was semi-pro and is a bigger body with more direct controls, the sensor is old technology now.
The D3200 has a much newer/better sensor but lacks the pro build and lots of direct access buttons of the D200, it also has video.

At the time the D200 was near the very top of the range and the D3200 was at the bottom of the range when it was release. It's a bit like saying which should be cheaper, a 20 year old Landrover Defender or a 10 year old Freelander.

Edit: also, shutter actuations wouldn't bother me at all on either models, they very rarely break and when they do number of actuations have little to do with it.

The 3200 will be far better at higher ISOs than the 200 - hard to be any worse! The 200 was built like a brick though, while the 3200 has a plastic chassis. Personally, I'd go for the 3200, even if it was 1.5 x the cost of the 200.
 
Whereas I would rather have the brick :)

I'm biased!
 
Actually, I think the Landrover analogy works quite well here, different people will definitely value different aspects of each camera.

For me though, I'd get the D3200, it's a lovely little camera.
 
Thanks for al the replies. I am neither buying or selling. I asked as I am trying to help a friend put a price on gear that he is selling. My thoughts are that mint as new should command at least 20% more than used average condition, I was hoping to get a wider view from your opinions. Thanks
