I am just shocked at the amount of responses on this sale. I have never sold anything on this site before, so this is new to me and possibly all this is to be expected? I have received offers up to $350 and numerous comments that I am asking way too little. I honestly do not know its value. This is an Auto-Focus lens, but it is an older lens. I do not want to misrepresent it. Comments appreciated ... No final decision has been made.

You've offered to sell a lens for $100 or best offer that could be sold for around $600. That's not a typical For Sale listing here at UHH. You're not obligated to sell and might rather want to withdraw this listing and repost with a more accurate sales price.

True, but if you're asking for best price and that exceeds your minimum, you can just go ahead and post a message that further bids will be accepted. Last fall I paid ~$650 for a like new, but used lens. I would hold out for $550-600 (unless you are willing to add a limited time cash refund, in which case you might get more).

I am just totally shocked that this lens is so in demand! I am going to proceed with the sale, but will accept the best offer and buyer will need to pay thru Pay Pal or sale not accepted. I used this lens with my D90.

Check the prices on eBay and other camera stores such as B&H and KEH, Adorama and Amazon for used lenses similar and in similar condition. On eBay the average prices was $600 when I checked and I was the second person to respond and sent you a pm but I could afford it at $100 but not $600. But you need to get what the lens is worth. So I hope this helps and good luck with the sale.

Did you like the lens? Did you use it for birds and is it heavy? I'd just like to know for future reference --I have a D7000. Thanks

Offer has been accepted and lens is shipping tomorrow. Thank You everyone for your patience!

To Jayne - you can edit the topic subject and the original post in the For Sale section unlike other UHH sections. The suggestion is to place SOLD at the start of the title line and SOLD the first line of the posted topic.
