Answer 1

The 'Buy it now' price of $898 with shipping is very good. The D70s body alone is worth $640, and the two Sigma lenses go for $140 each. I did a price check at B&H.
The rest of the kit consists of a lot of cheap crap, but let's say it represents an aditional value of $80. That puts the total value at roughly $1000.
The only question you have to ask yourself, is if you want to use the D70s - a fine camera - with those p.o.s. lenses, a memory card that will bog it down, a tripod that will practically collapse under its own weight, etc.
For $849 you can also buy the D70s with a great Nikon 18-70mm lens. Add $97 for a super fast 2 GB Sandisk Extreme lll card, and you've got a kick-*** combination for $961 with shipping. Again, the price check is from B&H.
I would personally prefer quality over quantity, but again, I can't argue with the eBay price.

Whoops, I just found the D70s + 18-70mm for $817 and free shipping at BeachCamera.com, another 100% reliable store.

Answer 2

I agree with OMG, as usual. Vote him for the best answer. Why not just get the camera, a good lens and decent memory card at B&H or Beach in the first place?

I have NOTHING against eBay and have bought and sold there many times, but this deal is so full of useless junk that you will end up never using, you should just deal with B&H or Beach.

Answer 3

Well the seller has high points and is a power seller, and the feedback is 98.4% positive, so this would be a good person to buy something from, but as far as the product goes, i have no clue if the lenses are any good.
