Subject: Minolta 7000, excellent condition, for sale

Want a complete excellent condition auto-everything camera
system? Look no more! :-)

Having bought all the generations of the Minolta autofocus
line (7000, 7000i, 7xi), and looking at the 9xi, I finally
have reached the conclusion that my original, very low
usage Minolta 7000 camera is better off being used by somebody
(and me having the $$) rather than sitting boxed up on
my shelf for "backup" purposes.

The complete system I have for sale is:

1.  Maxxum 7000 camera.
    Perfect, in factory box, with factory instructions....... 399.79

    This camera auto loads, auto focuses, DX file speed
    senses and more.

    This camera was bought right before the 7000i
    introduction and has the later quiet motor. It has had
    less than 40 rolls of film run through it. I bought the
    7000i upon its intro and kept this camera as a reserve
    in case of 7000i problems.

    It also comes with a third-part book on using the Minolta
    7000, as well as all the factory instructions.

2.  Sigma AF 60~200 F/4.5~5.6.
    Perfect, in factory box, with factory instructions....... 219.99

    Sigma makes really nice lenses, and this zoom is one of
    their best. Auto focuses and everything. Used only on
    the 7000, so it too has had less than 40 rolls of use.

3.  Circular polarizer filter (52 mm) for above lense .......  29.95
    Factory box.

    Installed on the lense since day one, so the lense
    surface has never been unprotected.

4.  Sigma AF 60~200 F/4.5~5.6  leather carrying case.
    Perfect condition......................................... 14.95

5.  Data Back 70 (for Maxxum 7000).

    Perfect, installed on 7000.  Have factory box, with
    factory plastic container, with factory instructions,
    contains original unused 7000 standard back............... 79.99

    The databack allows you to imprint date, time onto the
    film with each exposure.
        
6.  Spectrum 4500AF flash.

    Good, in factory box, with factory instructions.......... 129.99

    This flash is a Minolta-dedicated flash, which means it
    zooms with the zoom lens.

7.  Maxxum 7000 battery holder (extended grip) BH-70L.

    Perfect, installed, have factory box, with factory
    instructions, original unused  battery holder in it....... 29.99

    This allows more battery power for the camera, and
    makes the right hand grip fatter and easier to hold
    in the bargain.


TOTAL ORIGINAL PRICE......................................... 904.65

I am interested in selling this complete outfit for 35% of
the original price of the outfit for ........................ 316.00


I think it is quite a bargain as KMART is still selling the 7000
body only for $299, and used 7000's are advertised in Shutterbug
for $189 (without the battery grip or databack and of unknown usage,
and no lenses or flashes or filters).

This is a camera with very low use, and one that has all the original
factory boxes and instructions. Both the camera and lens bodies
and the boxes look absolutely new. I take very very good care of
my camera equipment.



If interested, contact me by email at phil@netcom.com, or by voice
mail at (408) 732-9399.



As a final condition of purchase, we can run a 12-exposore roll
of film through the camera and get it developed right away at the
one hour photolab next door. (If local of course)
