An E-1 in decent condition goes fro around $350 on ebay. With the HLD-2 grip 
set, around $450. The original type 1 14-54mm should get $350, The 50mm Macro 
is current and well-regarded - you can get a new one  online for a bit over 
$600 so $400 for a good used one with hood and caps is fair. Add $50 for 
anything that is really fresh and in the original box.

I missed my E-1 so I bought another recently, to keep as my last regular 4/3rds 
body. Got it from Paul van Tuyl in Ingram, Texas for $300. Ebay item 
#120664793364  He's been around for a while and has a good feedback record. 
I was annoyed when it arrived. 'Manufacturer refurbished' - as if. The cover 
was glued down inexpertly. 94K actuations too but that's OK - I'm not going to 
work it much. The first irritation was that he had listed it with $32 postage 
international but then required (stated, not asked) another $10 for postage. I 
didn't mind that too much and the stamp on it agreed with the higher cost but 
when I sell and get things like that wrong, I wear it.
But what annoyed me most was that it arrived with no discs or cables, no 
battery charger and no battery in it. Very bare. If I was selling a camera like 
that, I say that these things were missing. Am I being unreasonable? I would 
argue that 'custom and usage' implies that these things are part of a digital 
camera unless specifically excluded. I know that things have got tricky with 
air freighting Li-ion batteries but I'll be getting a couple in from China and 
I don't think they'll be coming by sea mail! I haven't heard back from him on 
my detailed grumble so I'm giving him a little time, assuming he's on holiday 
(he has nothing listed at present). But I am considering leaving at least 
neutral feedback.
