I will most likely make a purchase this week. I have found a reputable dealer, on eBay with 80,000 feedback. I am looking at this package:

The Nikon D70 Outfit with 18-70mm DX Lens
Nikon 70-300mm "G" Lens
SanDisk 1GB Extreme III CompactFlash
USB 2.0 Compact Flash Card Reader
Extra Battery
Nikon SLR Carry Case

All for $1400 shipped. Plus $230 in rebates. = 1170 after rebates, for a complete package.

I know the "G" lens is not as good, but It's ED counterpart is too expensive for me at the moment. I can always upgrade later on. Locally, a similar package at CircuitCity or Ritz Camera would be over $1900 with tax, and $1700 after rebate!!
