HELP!!!

Hello All!
I know this is extremely impersonal and very 'internet', but we are desperate to sell our digital camera.
As the story goes, our very good Kodak camera was broken whilst in Europe and needed to be sent away for repairs. This happened in February, when I still had another month of traveling to go, so we bought a Nikon for me to use in the meantime. Last week I (FINALLY) received my Kodak camera back, fixed. Now we want to sell our Nikon.
It's a silver Nikon Coolpix L1 in VERY good condition - it still has the stickers on it and the Nikon software is not yet opened. I'm told Nikon is one of the best for digital cameras. It is easy to use because it has different 'modes' (nightime, party, backlight, sunset, dawn etc etc), an ENORMOUS digital display (as you can see in the photos below) and takes HEAPs of video...etc etc. It takes normal rechargable batteries and uses an SD memory card...these didn't come with the camera, so we won't be selling them with the camera.
Now, the bottom line - we paid 400 Euros for the camera, that is, around $500 AUD in February this year, so it's really not that old. If you'd be interested in buying it, the specs are below and you can let us know how much you'd be willing to pay. You have my email!
We're very keen to sell it so that we can buy a bookcase for our study!!!

The Nikon website says of the camera:


6.2 Effective Megapixels: for stunning prints up to 16 x 20 inches
High Quality 5x Optical Zoom-Nikkor 38-190mm Glass Lens (35mm equivalent): lets you zoom in on all the action to capture spectacular images
Incredible, Bright 2.5 inch LCD: makes composing pictures and sharing them with your friends and family much easier
Nikon's Exclusive Feature System: turns pictures into photographs. Featuring: In-Camera Red-Eye Fix(TM) to remove red-eye in the camera; Face Priority AF to automatically focus on faces for great portraits; and D-Lighting for in-camera repair of dark images
15 Scene Modes: for great Portraits, Panoramas, Landscapes, etc.; 4 of the Scene Modes come with Scene Assist to guide you in taking better pictures, automatically
Long Battery Life: let's you shoot up to 230 images with a set of COOLPIX rechargeable AA batteries and up to 400 images with lithium AA batteries

But check it out for yourself on the net.
If you know ANYONE who might be interested, please give them our details. TA! :)

P.S. If you know anything about eBay and how effective it is/what the chances of us selling it there for a decent price are, leave a comment about it :)

Yeah, but the new model has no real changes except the buttons! That's why we've just put what we paid up, so people can make up their own minds...this is all so frustrating! It's only taken so long because of STUPID KODAK...NEVER break a Kodak camera in Australia. I shoulda made THEM pay for the replacement camera because it's their fault- if they woulda fixed it quick start the market wouldn't have had SEVEN MONTHS to change and bring out a new model? What rubbish - sorry, that's my rant and rave...:S

Hey, Ellie. Ebay is really easy. I sold a few things on it, including OLD digital camera with like 3 mP for around 60 bucks, which was good considering I got the camera free with my computer!
Sounds like you're doing well. One of my new friends did missions in New Zealand for 9 months! and she visited Australia. I think she spent Christmas in Australia. I really really want to come! Next summer (my summer)...
