Gee. I am looking to buy any F2 body and finder in this kind of shape for cheap, so good luck in your quest.
A little inspiration for you....
The black F2SB is my main camera.
The silver F2 is my other main camera.
Both have been serviced and work perfectly.
Sorry but neither is for sale.
Best wishes and good luck in your quest.

Brad, that was kinda mean!
Hmmmm....maybe so but I didn’t intend it to be. I guess I could be persuaded to sell one or the other but neither would be cheap....and everybody wants cheap.

I have to agree with that. Nothing beats cheap.
I’d much rather have reliable and working perfectly than cheap. Cheap, I’ve learned, is never actually cheap. Cheap is usually garbage or a money pit.
Wait... people want good and cheap. In fact, this reminds of a great joke:
Guy comes in a shoemaker shop and asks him to fix a pair of shoes. He says: “I want it to be really well done, I wanna get the shoes back fast and I don’t wanna spend too much.”
The shoemaker replies: “sorry, but you can only pick two.” The customer looks really confused and then the shoemaker explains it:
* I can make it good and cheap, but then it won’t be fast;
* I can make it fast and good, but then it won’t be cheap;
* I can make it fast and cheap, but then it won’t be good.
Yup, quality, cost and schedule. Pick two.
Brad, those are very pretty.
@Ariston, @George Mann, try sending an email to Josh at info@vcp.org to see if they have anything. VCP is short for Vermont Center for Photography, which at its core is a non-profit photographic gallery, but they also sell donated gear to generate running money. I know they have a ton of 35mm bodies on hand, they may have an F2 or 2.

Thank you, @bdial. I went to vcp.org, and it redirected to Veterans Community Project. George, the correct email address is info@vcphoto.org, I think.
Oops, you are correct, it's vcphoto.org, not sure what I was thinking, sorry for the confusion.
They do show some of what they have on instagram, which is linked from the "photo thrift" page on their website; https://vcphoto.org/services/photothrift/
Got it bookmarked. Thanks.
Did you find one yet.?
Are you still addicted to black.?
I just won a bid on a black one, but I might be interested in a chrome one, too. I wanted black to match a prism finder I already had, but the one I won has the DP-11, so I would be hapoy to have a chrome body to pair that with.
Not that I need it. I need to stop buying cameras!
I am still on the hunt for the right F/F2.
I will shoot you some pics tomorrow of my F2
What price is considered "cheap" for an excellent condition F2A?
I would say around $250. I personally would buy a working DP-1 Photomic instead, as you can often get them for around $150 fully tested with a 6 month warranty.
I've been trying to sell my excellent condition chrome F2A's for $150 for months and got no takers. Maybe I ought to raise the price LOL.
Where are you trying to sell them?
Over at photo.net
I only have 3 bodies left now (somehow, I sold one yesterday!)
Here is the link:
https://www.photo.net/discuss/threads/for-sale-4-nikon-f2a-bodies-and-accessories.5516370/
I am in the US, so I can only sell/ship to US addresses!
For the new year, I'm asking $140 per body.
Thanks for your interest.
You do not, also, have them listed on this forum.?
No. The first (and LAST) time I listed something here, someone said I shouldn't try to sell here because I won't sell/ship out of the US
