Rarely used Nikon ED AF Nikkor 70-300mm 1:4-5.6 D. $100
This is a not a VR LENS. Purchased new but not used in a while since I bought the VR version a few years ago. It is operational with my D7100. JUST DISCOVERED DEFECT. Since this is a D lens there is an aperture ring. On the aperture ring there is supposed to be a small tab. It interacts with older nikons. It was broken off at some point in the past. I have no idea when. Repairs from Nikon are a minimum of $175. So that is not economical. I have placed a screen shot Photo of the lens manual. The missing tab is item 8.

This is a not a VR LENS. There is some greying of the barrel cover but no effect on the operation. Purchased new but not used in a while since I bought the VR version. $100.00

Kinda what I've been loking for, any problems with using it off a tripod since it's not VR. Most of my shots are not set up but sorta off the hip (see something, snap a photo type stuff)

Sure you can. Just need to be really steady. The old rule used to be to shoot with a shutter speed that is inverse to the mm setting. If you are at 200mm then shoot at least at 1/200/sec or faster to stop the action. With VR lens you can only cut that down by one f-stop say to 1/100. Like any lens just brace yourself or lean against something. But with a tripod or monopod it would be easier. With telephotos even with VR it is hard to be crystal clear.

The Nikon 70-300 VR is around 3-4 f/stops better.

No problem but we all should remain aware that there is a lot of rubbish information out there!

Back on the market see description.
Is this the lens that was recently sold, and returned due to a malfunction? The greying of the rubber is troubling.

It was returned due a message on his camera. It works with my camera and all my previous cameras. I have no idea why it didn't work with his. Has been in a closet since I put it away prior to trying to sell it. Like I said I hooked it up and it worked. All I did since return was to unlock the f-stop ring at the base and make sure the f32 setting was set opposition the green dot and relock it. It works!

It's good to know you did right by the purchaser and took it back. :)
Edit: You might try cleaning the barrel with plastic cleaner.
