Do you think I'd do better if I added, say, my Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 to the sale? I was going to sell my last 3 Pentax-mount AF lenses separately because I thought I'd get more money from them. However, I am selling the *istD as a kit with the grip, a handful of batteries, and whatever other odds and ends I have lying around. The remaining 3 lenses are the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8, Sigma 10-20mm, and Tamron 90mm macro.
Of course I'll disclose the condition of the camera in the auction if I decide not to do the repair. Thanks for all the help, guys!
