Canon Lenses for Sale...I'm no longer perplexed

All of us are different I realize. For me, I do buy refurbished things, but rarely am tempted on used goods at prices even 50% of new. I'm not saying a near mint state used item isn't worth it, I'd rather but new. Just me.

Whoa, not a Testarossa but a 328GTS. Around $70,000. 
One’s a FERRARI, the other is Fiat with a yellow and black prancing horse sticker on it. Sort of like the Porsche 914 was just an expensive and ugly VW. 😎

Many photo stores, like MPB, KEH, Robert's and on and on, make their living selling "used" items. Chances are that if I'm looking for something...golf clubs...cars...cameras...anything that I'm interested in buying, I'd certainly be enticed into purchasing said item at that savings. I really think you're in the minority. But, as you said you're entitled to your opinion.

Well, I guess I'm splitting hairs but if MPB is selling a like new for $2399 and you want $1950, that's a difference of only $499, not the $700 you mention. Your price still sounds like a good deal though for someone willing to buy a "like new" lens.

You're right, hj. The $700 difference was between what MPB offered me, $1700 and what they would sell it for, $2399. My bad. That was how I came up with $1950, which I thought was fair.

Your prices are more than fair, some people just like to mind other people's business. It really sucks when Hoggers feel they can turn someone's classified ad into a discussion thread.

If MPB offered you $1700 and they would buy it after they see it in person then I think your price is fair. You only wanted $250 above the price offered by MPB.
