How to value a Digilux 3? (UK)

I am going to be putting up my mint Digilux 3 (probably 1500 shutter actuations) as now that I have an M8, I really have no use for it.

 

I've been looking at eBay, but these cameras don't appear much like the Digilux 2's, so I am really at a loss as to how to price it.

 

New ones are listed on eBay for £1800. Mine comes with the original kit lens, also in mint condition, and the accessories and manual. No box.

 

Would you sell the lens and body together? How on earth can I come up with a price that is competitive with the market, neither too low nor too high? I don't need to sell it quickly, so I am happy to float a price that might take a few weeks to sell.

 

Any ideas? Anyone sold one of these recently?

IMHO, I think you would get more for the Lens and Body sold apart. The lens is widely sought after by 4/3rds users, many of whom buy the Lumix L1 and sell off the body.

 

One never sees the Digilux 3 sold as a body alone and might well garner a good price. Lumix L1 bodies easily command $600 (US) if in mint condition and you know the lens is the truly high $ part. Please let me know if you choose to split the set as I am looking for a Digilux 3 body.

I bought a complete new kit, a couple of weeks ago, in Spain by € 1299. This is the better price that I found by a "new" camera. www.casanovafoto.com

 

Before I buy it, I was seeing the prices of the "used cameras" on eBay. The prices were more or less between 1100 and 1400 euros.

 

I imagine that outside of Spain the price of new kit will also be down, so I think is good that you sell your camera before the prices fall massively.

 

Best regards.
