Is this a good price for MP setup?

[chancellor]

Folks, sorry to create a selfish thread for a price-check, but I'm wondering if this is a good price for MP setup: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130026307041
given that the prices likely to come down a little bit (from private sellers) in light of the Digital M coming out.

Thank you.

I would say rather over the top for a first bid.

I think it is an awful price. Even if everything is in great condition. For $500 or so more you could get all of that stuff brand new (with the unreal passport warranties on everything instead of nothing.)

You can easily find a new MP in perfect condition for $2000-$2200 with a one year warranty. I found my brand new quality 50mm summicron on ebay for $550. If you're willing to spend $7-800 you will have no problem. Used filters and flashes are not expensive. But if you want to buy everything in one shot, go to photovillage or Adorama and strike a deal with them. You can easily get a good price if you buy it all together.
