Yes I can help Kev.  It's sitting in the box, not sat in the box. That is if cameras can sit.

There is a more serious question here,  why did you spend £470 on a camera for your Mum when she was never going to use it?  £470 would have gone a long way to paying for a Le Mans trip! If not paid for it all.  You need to get your priorities right!

And whilst we are all bashing Kev,  can you please get rid of that irritating graphic!

Anyway, to answer your question,  I haven't got a clue, but you might find that the component parts are worth more than the whole,  I guess you need to research somewhere like eBay to see what the stuff actually sells for.
Of course I buy green cars, my Aston is green, my MGB is green, my Disco Sport is green,  oh, that's not what you meant by green?

Not at all Kev, It's just me listening to Sir Terence of Wogan in the mornings. He has a moan most days about the misuse of the English language and I suppose it is starting to rub off on me.

The Money and Present was from the family to my mother for her Birthday so it wasnt all my money ;) There is more to life than Lemans  :p also i had other commitments as ive said else where ;)

Think if i sell all the parts separate then i will get nearly all the money back then she can use it how ever she wishes!

Kev, for that money consider it sold to me. I'll be in England on 4th and 5th, PM me to work something out according delivery and payment. :)
