A quick check on eBay shows that they've recently gone for anywhere from
$70-$80 and up, so it seems that that's a fair price. Keep in mind, too,
that you'd have to add shipping to the eBay price, and you're not actually
able to play with the camera first. The nice thing about buying from a
store is that you have someone to talk to about it, and they'll hopefully
offer some sort of warranty or guarantee. Ask them how recently it's had
a CLA done to it, and find out what warantee (if any) they'll offer. Then
go for it!
