Purchased Feb 2019 from Adorama.
Lens, dock, UV filter (always on lens) and tripod collar.
Very clean and well kept.
Sharp lens and easy to hand hold.
$500 gets shipped to lower USA only.
Check or money order.
I recently purchased this lens from B&H with the optional USB dock. I've used it with both my Nikon D7500 and D600. Focus is very fast with the D7500, slightly slower with the D600 (a lot older camera). Out of the box the lens is surprisingly sharp at 400mm. So far, I'm quite impressed, especially for the price. I paid a lot more money for my Nikon 18-300mm 3.5-5.6 ED lens with less than stellar results.
For the price, I feel it's a great lens.
Red Squirrel, D7500, f8, 400mm

Nice shot and thanks.
I purchased the tripod collar but seldom used with tripod as it's so easy to handhold.

I bought a copy of this lens used and I really like it. It holds up very well on both the D810 and the D500, very sharp image quality and low CAs. My 810 is very unforgiving of lenses and this lens looks great, even decent wide open. Very high build quality. Not as fast autofocus as Nikkor pro lenses (as expected) but image quality that is outstanding for the price, and a better build quality than Nikon lenses in the same price range, in my opinion. I think its just a great value.
