I need a tank of fuel oil for the house, is $1500 a reasonable price to ask for my AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm 1:2.8GII ED N VR lens?

You NEED the new Fl 70-200 2.8 lens, and you know it. Only $2800.00.

I sold mine for a little over $2,000. I can sympathize with your oil bill. I heat with wood now. It's warmer and cheaper. I use oil for hot water and very cold weather.

Here's what they've sold for on ebay.

This is a nano coat, SWM, VR, ED, IF model.
why can't there be just one version at one price?
How many versions of this lens has nikon made?

This might help answer that question.

Boy would I love to get my hands on that baby. Way beyond my budget.

That's a problem with names. Every model is called the 70-200mm. They should make it obvious and easy to tell which is old and which is new. The chart that brucewells linked is good.

Hey, if you are really in need, I'll donate a few dollars if you tell me where to send it. I don't have a lot but I am willing to help you out.

your generous offers make me feel good but having to sell a couple of my toys may teach me to plan ahead
for life's little sand traps.
You just have to laugh it off sometimes. My SS check isn't enough to live on buts its just high enough
that i can't qualify for food stamps, food bank, free rent, free utilities or medical assistance.
Guess i'll have to move too mexico and then sneak back across the border.

If someone here will start a Fund Me account for you I will be one of the first to donate.

As i said, its nice that someone would offer but i don't think i would have
a clear conscience taking snapshots with a $3000 camera and $2000 lens while
the man puts oil bought by my fellow hoggers in the tank.
I'll lie in the bed i've made for myself but reserve the right to rant against the
government that charges me a school tax and a museum tax, tax breaks for refugees, etc..etc..

Depends on how quickly you want to sell it, but I 'd get a loan myself. It'll cost you close to $3000 to replace it.

No more sneaking across. There will be a wall built and paid for by Mexico.

Same here . And I'd feel guilty myself but gass gets all of us . A little from a lot of folks don't hurt anyone. Then do the favor back to someone else
