This is My Experience When I waned to Sell my Camera
Conversation started from a private message through Ikman.lk and asked me to email her. this is the email thread I'm posting. who ever they are they keep track of items that are not moving and items that are hard to negotiate.

I bought it in mid 2012 and camera body is in very good condition, no scratch marks and all display screens are protected with PVC stickers.
I do have the original box and its content intact. May I know from where are u ? are you living in Sri Lanka ?

Hi,
I'm glad to read from you.I'm from United Kingdom, and I accepted the the condition of the camera as you've described.
I'm buying this camera for my sister studying in United States.
Please calculate the price of the camera with the shipping cost to USA by EMS EXPRESS or REGISTERED MAIL post for delivery. So i will be looking forward to the total cost including the shipping fee.
Do you have bank account for the payment?
Kind regards,
Hi,
Do you still have this item available for sale? Please tell me your last desire price in euro value.

mind you I'm selling only the body of the camera, it does not include the lens. May I know how you found this camera ? Coz I advertised it on Sri Lankan web site only.

Yes i am aware that you want to sale the camera body only, and concerning your question,
I found the sale of your camera on (
www.ikman.lk) via Google.
And i also want you to understand the reason why i'm buying this camera from you was that we have too many china copies of this camera here and most of the new original ones are very cost at the store and there are a lot of tax charges on every electronics devices we bought here, so i preferred to get one online and forwarded to my sister.
I'm presenting the camera to her as a gift for her upcoming project examination in her college, so i think is good to buy the camera from you and send it to her instead of sending money to her to buy the camera in the States herself.
And i hope you can understand me very well this time?
