My 200-500 was purchased new from B&H for a one day workshop in Arizona called Out of Africa. It was an amazing experience. The image posted was taken at the workshop. I use a monopod for that lens.
As you can see it is the image is super sharp.

Since my wildlife days are over, I am selling the lens. Very gently used that one day.

Lens Hood
and Filter put on the lens from day one.
Original Box and instructions.
Rotating collar with Arca Swiss type pad.

If you are looking at this lens you know:
Spanning a long, versatile zoom range, the AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR Lens from Nikon is a telephoto zoom characterized by a constant f/5.6 maximum aperture for consistent performance throughout the zoom range. The optical design incorporates three extra-low dispersion glass elements to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortions for increased sharpness and color accuracy. Also contributing to improved image quality, a Super Integrated Coating has been applied to lens elements to lessen flare and ghosting for improved contrast and clarity.

A Silent Wave Motor AF system produces fast, near-silent focusing performance that suits both stills shooting and movie recording, which can instantly be manually overridden by simply turning the manual focus ring. Further contributing to photographing in fast-paced situations and difficult lighting, VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization compensates for the effects of camera shake by up to 4.5 shutter speed stops. Additionally, an electromagnetic aperture mechanism is integrated into the lens design to provide greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with faster continuous shooting rates.

Designed for use with FX image sensors, this lens is also compatible with DX sensors where it will provide a 300-750mm equivalent focal length range.
Constant f/5.6 maximum aperture offers consistent performance throughout the zoom range.
Three extra-low dispersion elements greatly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce greater clarity and color accuracy.
A Super Integrated Coating has been applied to individual elements to suppress internal reflections, flare, and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions.
Silent Wave Motor affords quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. An internal focusing design is also used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster focusing speeds.
Vibration Reduction image stabilization helps to reduce the appearance of camera shake for up to 4.5 shutter speed stops, benefiting this lens' use in low-light conditions. Additionally, a designated Sport Mode is well-suited to working in fast-paced conditions where panning and other lateral camera movements are more common.
A rotating tripod collar offers well-balanced support for photographing atop a tripod or monopod with either vertical or horizontal shooting orientations.
Specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting rates.

This mechanism limits the compatibility of this lens to the following cameras: D5, D4, D3 series, Df, D850, D810, D810A, D800/E, D750, D700, D610, D600, D500, D300/S, D7500, D7200, D7100, D7000, D5600, D5500, D5300, D5200, D5100, D5000, D3400, D3300, D3200, D3100, Nikon 1 J1, J2, J3, J4 with FT-1, Nikon 1 V1, V2, V3 with FT-1, and Nikon 1 S1, S2 with FT-1.

I took an indoor shot to show the lens is completely functional,taken with autofocus

PM me with any questions. All sales are final.
Thanks for Looking, Stan

No need to refurbish this one. Also people interested can make a counter offer.

I just don't understand what a person gets out of undermining another person's attempt to sell their camera gear. Just Sayin'

I agree. I believe it is an ego thing.

No ego thing I assure you. The seller should be aware of the current market price. To charge more without any warranty might well be considered to be taking advantage of a relative newcomers ignorance of market prices. As this is supposed to be a friendly market I would consider such a maneuver to be customer unfriendly.

So I was just calling it to his attention. If you don't like it that is your prerogative, but don't blame the messenger for point us a failure on the OPs part.

1) It's none of your business what a seller wants to sell their gear for, unless you are buying.
2) How did the seller manage to get through life before you happened along to guide them?
Don't blame the messenger? Failure on the OP's part? The price difference was $51. How arrogant can you be?
