Should I buy this Nikon D60 from Ebay?

Question

I'm not a pro photographer or anything, but I'm considering buying a Nikon D60. I am rather passionate about taking pictures and do so as much as I possibly can. I will be taking a Photography class during my fall semester of college, and I will need an SLR for it. I figured this was the best choice, as well as the most affordable for the quality.

While I have considered buying this camera from an electronic store, I have also been searching on Ebay for other options. I found this camera and thought it was a great deal; but after reading some of the reviews, many of the customers say that the extras are quite cheap.

Like I stated earlier, I am no pro so I don'tt know the difference between the included lenses or anything.. Which is why I am here for help. The way I figure, I would be paying $800 for the camera itself, might as well get the extras. :)

Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=200228126757

Thanks for help

Hi Britani,   While I don't have a problem buying items off ebay, as Ihave bought and sold,  I would run like crazy from the auction you gave as a link.    I went to it and the first thing I looked at was not the Nikon camera that was on auction...  the first thing I looked at was the seller's feedbacks.  He had 22 negatives this last month alone.   Lots of people that are buying from him are not happy so pass that one up.   I did not check, but I bet there are dozens of other sellers offering this same camera... so you should check them out.  The first thing you must look at is the Feedbacks.   If they have more than a couple of NEGATIVES....   go to the next one.   Buying from eBay is safe, especially if you use PayPal (as your purchase is protected) just be safe and aware of what you are doing.   Get a friend to check it out with you.   Thanks for reading and good luck with your photography class in the fall.... they are a blast!!!   OH.....  if you don't know where the feedbacks are...  it is the number written after the seller's name...  ex:  tommy (405)
