When funds permit I would like to change from the following lenses (bought April '06) to a single "walkabout" lens like a 18-200mm (I dream of the Nikon with VRII :cuckoo:)
How much could I expect to get for these lenses which are both in pristine condition (& both have always had UV filters in place) - I asked at a camera shop and they offered me £150 for both (?)
Could I get more by selling them myself - I thought so (?)


Nikon AF-S Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 G IF-ED DX Lens
Nikon AF Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6 G Lens


I appreciate the 18-70mm is an alternative to the 18-55mm "kit" lens & as such might have limited appeal but the two together would be a good 2nd hand buy together with a new or 2nd hand body (?)

Your experience & advice would be much appreciated ... Paul :thumbs:

Prices as per above, but the 70-300 might be worth slightly more than £70.

I'd try to sell the 18-70 to a D50 user who bought the 18-55 lens. Without this market for these particular lenses, they are almost impossible to sell!
