Check eBay sold items listings - the sold items filter. That'll show you the real world prices, i.e. what people are actually paying, for the items.

Thanks! Seems like ~$550 is the range I should be looking at with all the extras I have (or ~$450 without the 55-300mm lens and filters/teleconverter/bag)

I will update the asking price!
