Choosing a used mirrorless DSLR camera is a budget game with real visual trade-offs. These four Sony listings solve different problems: one low-priced body-only entry point, two A6000 kits with a 16-50mm lens, and a NEX-7 with a tripod thread option. Listed prices run from $240.07 to $377.00, so the decision is less about brand and more about which compromises you will accept.
Quick take
The low-priced end is the body-only Sony Alpha A6000, while the top-priced end is the black Sony Alpha A6000 with lens and accessories. The white Sony Alpha a6000 with a 16-50mm OSS lens sits between them with Wi-Fi and NFC. The Sony Alpha NEX-7 offers a body-only or with-lens choice and adds a tripod thread in the title. The black A6000 bundle is the most complete listed kit.

Product notes
Sony Alpha A6000 24.3MP Mirrorless Digital Camera Body \*Read #943
This body-only A6000 is the low-priced end of the four listings. It uses the A6000's 24.3MP sensor and is listed as a Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens camera, so it works if you already have Sony E lenses. The limitation is the condition description: it says the item is in poor condition, with significant cosmetic wear, moderate scratches on the LCD, heavy scuffs, and debris in the viewfinder. That is a clear warning that image quality could be affected. The "Read #943" in the title points you to the condition note before you commit.
Sony Alpha NEX-7 Mirrorless Digital Camera Body or W/16-50mm Lens Tripod Thread
This NEX-7 is the only listing here with "Tripod Thread" in the title, and it gives you a choice between body-only and body with 16-50mm lens. The listed accessories include a lithium-ion battery, charger, USB and HDMI connectivity, plus a 2x digital zoom. It suits someone who wants a NEX-series body rather than another A6000. The trade-off is that it sits above the white A6000 kit in price, and its listed connectivity only includes USB and HDMI - if wireless transfer matters, the A6000 kits with Wi-Fi are the ones to watch.
Black Sony Alpha A6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera w/16-50mm Lens with Accessories
The black A6000 is the top-priced option, but it is also the one with the longest what's-in-the-box list: camera with 16-50mm lens, wrist strap, battery, charger, and memory card. Attributes add USB, HDMI, Wi-Fi, and NFC, plus country of origin Japan. If you want a ready-to-shoot kit without buying extra accessories separately, this is the listing that spells out the full bundle. The obvious limitation is the price: it sits at the top of the range, so you are paying for the convenience of a complete kit rather than a bare body. The condition is listed as used, and the description asks you to avoid exposing the camera to strong light to protect the sensor.
Sony Alpha a6000 24.3MP Mirrorless Digital Camera w/16-50mm OSS Lens
The white A6000 is the only option here that is explicitly white. It includes the Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS lens, and its attributes list Wi-Fi, NFC, a built-in flash, tiltable LCD, and 11 FPS continuous shooting. For someone who wants an A6000 with a zoom lens but does not need the accessory bundle, this splits the difference between the body-only A6000 and the black kit. The trade-off is the used condition and the fact that it is roughly $60 more than the body-only listing, so you are paying for the included lens and wireless features.
Final recommendation
Choose the body-only A6000 if your priority is the lowest listed price and you already own a compatible lens, as long as you accept the poor condition note. Choose the white A6000 with 16-50mm OSS lens when you want a lens-included A6000 with Wi-Fi and NFC at a modest step up from the body-only option. Choose the NEX-7 if you want the tripod-thread body option and can live with USB/HDMI connectivity. Choose the black A6000 with accessories if you want the most complete listed kit - lens, wrist strap, battery, charger, and memory card - in one package.
