That would be a great camera, but I wouldn't pay $395 (reserve) for it, plus the rip-off price of $20 for shipping. You can buy a brand new Nikon FM-10 for much less if you're interested in buying a Nikon. The FM-10 has the following features:
Includes FM10 body, 35-70mm f/3.5-4.8 Zoom Nikkor lens, Eveready carrying case, strap and batteries
Center-Weighted Meter - Time proven and very accurate, this light meter will guide the photographer towards excellent exposures. With the built-in +, 0 and - LED display, creative adjustments are just a turn-of-a-dial away
Depth-of-field Preview - Using through-the-lens SLR viewing, and being able to see the range of sharpness is an exciting way for the new photographer to visualize depth-of-field
Shutter Speeds Up to 1/2000 second - Shoot action stopping sharp pictures at up to 1/2000 sec., or achieve creative light patterns at slow speeds like 1 second
Manual Advance and Rewind - Comfortable handling, lightweight, compact and very convenient, the Nikon FM10 will deliver, roll after roll
Check out B&H Camera's online camera store, they have the outfit above at a reasonable price. eBay is a crapshoot.
