So I'm selling my 70-200, which I think I've shot with a total of 5 times. Brand new, mint condition. Comes with box, case for lens, lens hood, and B+W UV filter.

I'm going to try my best to sell this locally, I hate shipping things. So, if you are in the New England area, specifically Boston, then that would be perfect.

$1500 or best offer

In addition to POTN like Jamie suggested, try the Fred Miranda forums if you haven't already, things sell pretty quickly over there!

yeah but when you look at it, it's sort of worth it. let's say she was going to sell this eBay, it would be cheaper to sell it on FM than the fees for eBay. And it's only once a year.

Pretty dumb question, look at the price. It's the MK I at a hell of a price, there's NO WAY a MK II would go for under 2000 dollars.

A refurb one is 2000, and they're in stocky pretty often. I'd rather have a refurb one than a second handed.

Interesting. Would you like to send me a link? I've been googling it and I can't find anything but Mk I's refurbished?

Cochrane: I'm not trying to be an asshole but usually people don't sell a lens for more than 1000 under face value..
