Nkon D200 Body

[rpcmd]

I'm thinking of trading in my D200 for a D300 or D700. The D200 body is in almost new condition in the original box with all cables, documentation, and DVD.

1) How much should I expect from an average dealer on a trade-in?

2) If I decide to sell it myself, what would be a reasonable selling price?

3) An acquaintance told me there's not enough difference between the D200 and D300 to make the change worth while; he said I shouldn't bother unless I'm willing to go all the way to the D700. Any knowledgeable opinion on that would be welcome as well.

Thanks.

Dear RPC,
This site deals with collectible film cameras only. Unfortunately digitals ones are not presented here.
But here is my personal opinion about the question #3, since I am a long-time user of digital SLRs: if the D200->D300 will cost you more than $300, don't. I think the main advantage of D300 is a CMOS sensor vs a CCD one in D200, hence the more clarity (not because of extra 2mp). Everything else is not a big step up, your friend is right. Oh, yeah... the live is nice to have if you are professionally shooting many similar items.
