All Models Recommendation Request

[genesiusj]

Hello,
As you might have read in my previous posts, my A6300 is possessed (making settings changes on its own and buttons not working). Repair (replacing board) costs around $275+, with a 5 to 7 week turnaround. I can scrape about $400 for a replacement body, used of course (my wife reminds me this is only a hobby).

Should I stick with the A6300 or move to a different Sony ASP-C body?
I have a single Sony lens: SEL1820035-63 OSS. All other lens are a-mounts using an adapter (manual everything and no Exif).
Is Facebook Marketplace really safe, or will I be ripped off?
What other sites do you recommend?
Thanks and God bless,
Genesius

PS. I have old camera equipment (digital and film). What has been your experience with selling / trading? What companies do you recommend?

Mpb and keh are quite reputable and have warranty on the items they sell. Facebook marketplace, like ebay or local auctions, are more of a risk.
If you can find an A6600 at a good price, get that. But the a6400 is also a great camera body.

There's a TON of scammers on FB Marketplace. Never buy "ship to you"; always check it out in person.

See that the a9ii is been discontinued, wonder if the price will drop, if you haven't got something by now you may pick up a bargain, although we are talking about Sony
