David.  I have to agree with those who have said basically you are cutting 
your nose off to spite your face.  As a new D600 owner, I can attest to the 
fact that it is a great camera, even at full price.  I just got $100 off the 
body, and then my father-in-law got $900 of a body, and two lenses at 
Costco.  The week before it was $300 off and the week after it was $400.  It 
is a game, and he hit it just right, but I am not sad.  As I said, it works 
great for me.  But if I had timed it right I could have gotten two lenses in 
the deal, one that I already had, and sell what I didn't want.  Oh well.  I 
will just enjoy the camera.

But if you insist on selling your stuff, let me know what you have off list. 
I might be interested in expanding my lens line if you have some good stuff 
in areas I do not have.

Nikon offering a $700 rebate within weeks of my buying a D600 at full price
followed by Nikon USA's insulting email correspondence and inaction
afterward as I sought some recourse, has ended my 40 year love for Nikon
and its cameras.

Gone is the D600 and shortly all of my Nikon gear (except for my 1960s
Nikomat and 43-86mm zoom).

Enter the brave new world of the Sony A99. Wow.

So, good riddance Nikon -- this disrespected former customer will never buy
or recommend one of your products ever again.
