Selling my Nikon Coolpix 8800

Alas, my Nikon Coolpix 8800 has become a red-headed stepchild of my gadget shelf. Nothing's wrong with it at all – I've just found a replacement. This was my first Nikon camera ever, and it's likely to be my last one. Some people swear by Nikon's – but I'm not one of them (apparently). I've got the 8800 itself (with original box), its official carrying case, and a 4GB Microdrive to sell together as a package. Could let the whole bundle go for $850, which is about the best eBay pricing I could find out there – and that's where I'll turn should I find no takers.
The Coolpix 8800 has been pretty good to me – taking some of the best photos I've seen come from a digital camera. The 8 megapixels is overkill for me, however; I don't do much printing of my snapshots. One thing I loved about the Coolpix is that it would take unlimited video footage at 320×240 – a great thing for quick movies of misadventures. I flip the wrapper with MP4Cam2AV before encoding it into WMV, though. The 8800's live histogram and rule-of-thirds guidelines will certainly be missed, as well – and the 10x optical zoom with robust image stabilization is no slouch, either. It served me well, but I think I'm in the market for something that'll fit in my pocket.
So, any offers? Let's talk.
