I recently got a IIIF body in Ex+ shape for $400, which I didn't think was too bad. (If you're serious about Ebay buying, you owe it to yourself to checkout one of the sniping, auto-bidding tools. They will insert a bid with 4-5 seconds left in the auction. It may not be "fair", but it level's the playing field for me.) Remember, it only takes two bidders at an auction to drive the price up to ridiculous levels.
