Why three years changes the answer

Digital bodies fall predictably after a successor launches, and the shape of that fall is the whole question if you are deciding when to sell. Film bodies and manual lenses have been moving the other way for years. Both are invisible in a ninety day window, which is all eBay's public sold filter gives you.

Body only, kit, or spares

The same model listed body only, with a lens, or as spares or repair are three different prices. Sellers say which in the title, so filter on it: Nikon F3 body -parts -repair -as+is -lens. Shutter count, mount and condition words are worth including when they matter.

Offers

Camera gear is negotiated heavily, particularly on higher value bodies and lenses. On an accepted offer, a public sold page reports what the seller asked rather than what the buyer paid. We return the accepted figure. Across 5,859 matched sales the public number read high 99.0% of the time by a median of 14.9%.
