I don't know really. I think I got mine from ebay. The sigma one was second hand but in excellent condition. I got the others new. The 18-55 one I have came with the camera.

You could join a photography forum - "Talk Photography" for example, have an excellent used cameras/lenses section - qualifying period of so many posts etc before you can use the for sale section
Also many tutorials if you need help - highly recommended

I have found these guys cheap and reliable.Grey imports though,so you only have their guarantee and a photocopied UK manual. Uk based with a phone number and someone to answer it, they import for you so can take 10 days.

You have all been a great help, thankyou. happy

I forgot to get a tripod so that is next on the list as most of my photography will be night shooting which was another reason i picked this camera as it had very good feedback for night shots.

Decided to learn to use it with the dx lens it came with to get used to it before getting another lens, for now i have ordered a reversal ring so i can use the lens it came with as a macro lens.

This site gives you all the cheapest places to buy camera equipment from:-

http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/Nikon/Nikon-SLR-Lenses

PS the best lenses are not always Nikon lenses both Sigma and Tamron make some great quality lenses for half the price of Nikon gear, search Google for reviews before you buy anything.
