They seem to be about $2700 to $3000 here (£1350 - £1500) but they are a discontinued model.

for a camera? You must be having a laugh..... 
I know people who will climb mountains, spend the night there just to get a decent shot of the sunrise, hopefully. I know people who will spend the day in the marshes to get a decent shot of a rare bird, hopefully. (I bet gasman has some stories).
Photography is not something you splash out on and jump in to. People start with beginner gear, spend years learning and slowly building up some good kit. Camera bodies can fetch good money on the used market, lenses hold their value even better.
I don't do sunrises or birds, I'm an opportunist with relatively inexpensive kit. But I understand the attraction and the addiction.

I know people like that too and if you want THE best shot, you have to make sacrifices. I am not a 'twitcher', but have sat in a hide for ages waiting for a certain bird to appear.

Again, very true. Paradoxically, I know of people that have bought expensive camera equipment from the onset and expected to take award winning photographs. These type of people just do not want to learn the basics.
