I am so tired of looking at these prices honestly. I have been trying to upgrade my old DSLR to a mirrorless setup for months now but every time I look at the new models they are like two grand just for the body and I just cant justify that right now. My logic was that I could find a decent used Sony A7III or maybe a Fuji X-T3 for around 800 bucks because I have this big trip to Japan coming up in three weeks and I really want something lighter to carry around. But man the prices on eBay are actually insane people are asking for basically retail prices for gear that has a shutter count of like 100k it makes no sense. I checked MPB and KEH too and while they seem legit their excellent condition stuff is still way out of my budget and I am getting super frustrated with the whole process. I tried Facebook Marketplace but half the people dont reply and the other half seem like scammers asking for wire transfers or weird stuff. Is there some secret site or a specific forum where people actually sell gear for reasonable prices? I just want a reliable camera that wont break the bank before I leave. Honestly starting to think I should just stick with my heavy old Nikon and suffer through the back pain... where are the actual deals hiding?

TL;DR: Try the Fred Miranda Buy/Sell forum or Reddit r/photomarket. I scored my Sony A7 III 24.2MP Mirrorless Camera for a total steal there! Honestly, the BSI sensor performance and 15 stops of dynamic range are amazing for low light. People on those forums actually know their shutter counts and sensor health data. It saved me hundreds compared to eBay prices! Youll love the lighter setup for Japan, its gonna be fantastic!
