Used Nikon D500 for $1350, body only?

Would you say this is a good price for this camera?  It's someone selling on Craigslist and claims there is under 2000 photos on it.

I need to upgrade camera so looking at this one.  Thanks for help.

Like Ernest said, be careful. Ask for serial number (should start with a 3) & the latest image from it (to check for shutter actuations)

Save some more and buy new from a trusted seller....That body is too new to find a legitimate used sale, me thinks.

B&H, Adorama & Nikon's website all have refurbished units. Better than taking a chance on used.

Not completely true, there are some good used camera dealers that offer 6 month warranties  ;)

I checked yesterday and couldn't find a used D500 at a couple used dealers. Its still fairly new and anyone selling one prior to its replacement would raise red flags to me....

I've seen  refurbished ones on Nikon's site as well as Adorama & used ones (with a 16-80mm lens) on B&H, plus used ones on Amazon, but not at that low of a price point.

Make sure it's not stolen

Frankly, I'd steer clear (if you haven't already). Seems like a very fishy situation to me.
