Listed below is an HVX200A, bought in March 2009 from Samy's Camera in Los Angeles. It was my first professional video camera and it has served me well, and I am sure it will serve it's new owner, as well.
It features a 1/3 CCD Sensor, shoots DVCPROHD 1080i in 60fps, 1080p in 30 and 24fps, plus 720p with variable frame rates from 1 to 60fps (12fps, but there is a scene file to narrow it down to 1fps). There is also the option of shooting on tape, in DVCAM, DVCPRO and DV format.
Included with the camera are:
2 OEM batteries
one A-Series 16GB P2 card
one A-Series 32GB P2 card
Composite cable
Component cable
Charger
Remote
Manual
Barry Green's HVX/HPX Book
Petrol PCBP-1 Hiker Backpack (can fit a 15" laptop & camera)

The one piece that is missing from the package is the part of the charger that plugs into the camera, but there's enough battery power to last you a full shoot day. Petrol backpack is clean with no tears.
Viewfinder in camera has light scratches but does not interfere with view. Lens is squeaky clean.
Camera has 832 hours of operation on it.
The package will NOT be separated. It's perfect for a student or hobbyist looking to go pro without spending the $$$ on a new camera or DSLR.
The camera is still widely used and it's image can hold up against newer cameras with good cinematography. Just take a look at this short film shot when I first bought the camera:
