As I'm sure you've read in newsletters from the past, Rivendell is a big fan of Ricoh cameras, even or maybe especially their digital GR which is why I'm listing this here. 
Between build quality and built-in flash, the GRII is considered superior and more desirable to the new GRIII and GRIIIX. 

Mine could pass for new, and has hardly been used at all. Not a single mark from use. Included is the usb charger, factory strap, manuals and the box (of course the battery too). 

$950 net to me

I have the GR3. The big advantage of the 3 over the 2 is built in image stabilization along with a higher resolution sensor. That makes a huge difference if you're going to shoot from the bike (which I do a lot). The flash would have been nice, but to be honest I haven't found it to be necessary for cycling use. The higher resolution is useful so I can crop significantly and not lose image quality.  I shot the majority of the photos during the bike tour last year with the GR3 (https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/3tH_MiqmTIqevsnrC665ag.a-MTetXid6z6exmBW0GDou). It's a good camera. The GR3 can be gotten new with warranty for around $970 (https://amzn.to/45unK4g), but it might be hard to find now because it became some sort of tik-tok meme.

If this is misplaced, by all means delete the thread. Just wanted to offer it here since it has come up on the older newsletters. Not trying to make 
a judgement about the 3, etc. Given the 2 is no longer in production I wanted to offer it up here first before trying a more public route to sell it.
