Hi Rich, I've had pretty good deals on eBay with bodies and lenses. I bought 3 EOS 1n bodies with boosters in EX++ to MINT condition from different sellers for an average cost of $650. I bought six Canon NiCad E1 packs for PB E1 boosters and two chargers for $150. I bought a new condition EOS 1nRS for $850 which might have been a little high but there had been a long dry spell on mint condition EOS 1nRS bodies and I needed it for a job. I bought 2 EOS 1's with boosters in like condition for an average cost of $475 which is IMO a good reason to not buy anything less than an EOS 1 body. I bought a MINT condition EF 300 2.8L complete with hood, cap, front cover, case and box for $2,000 an EF 15 2.8fisheye for $475 an EF 28-105USM for $160, the list goes on and all work 100%. Auction sites are a dynamic environment much like the stock market, do the research, be patient, buy low and sell high.
