Searching for Nikon 200mm f/4 AI-s Micro-NIKKOR

I have read about the Nikon 200 f/4 AIs MicroNikkor and I would like to find one in excellent condition.
I located a rather beaten up copy of this lens locally for $125.00.
Does anyone have this lens for sale at a reasonable price?
Thanks,
Bob

This is the Nikkor 200mm f/4 manual focus lens I own.

I have a really ratty Tamron 90mm f/2.5 manual focus macro, that is disgusting looking but it makes superb images on my various EOS models with the proper Adaptall mount. Everything manual including aperture stop down, a real pain in the backside to use, but I don't shoot a lot of macro anyway. I think I bought it for $75.00 long ago at one of those indoor photo flea markets they used to hold in various National Guard armories. The good luck here was knowing that Tamron once made an Adaptall for EOS. A bit had to find, though, at the time.

Take the chance, try before you buy if whomever will let you. If it does the job you want, who cares what the lens looks like? I guarantee no one looking at your images will ask to see the lens you used to make them.

I almost never use this 200mm lens. I do own/use a Nikkor Micro 55mm f/2.8 on my D850 and D780 regularly; excellent manual focus lens even for some landscape work in a pinch.
