That is some pretty kit ...

Pretty indeed !

Unfortunately odds are there's some sort of cocking or shutter problem, and the lot with lenses will go for an imprudent sum anyway.

Not on this site, I think ...

I have found that this site is no longer good for a bargain, sadly.

Perhaps because there are fewer things for sale it is easier to spot the gems. I have had poor luck there for a year.

On ebay many gems can still be overlooked in the mass, and found by a lucky chance or a clever search.

I am bidding on a lens there. I will know in a couple of hours if I got it ...

Have to agree with you--ShopGoodwill rarely has bargains any more. I sometimes buy from my local store's listings and pick up directly from the local Goodwill. Saving the shipping charges can make some cheap deals worthwhile, but that's about it.

eBay and Craigslist are much better sources of bargains/hidden gems.
