because this is a fair used price and if you looked anywhere you'd see 90 is right around what it's valued at.

I'm getting sick of some of you guys price policing when you have no idea what a good used price is to start

ok whatever, just seems kind of silly to buy used when for $10 more you could buy a brand new one.

If it's in good condition I wouldn't see the point in buying a new one, even if it's just 10%. The reason it's so high compared to the new price is simply because the demand is high enough. It's not like it's something that wears easily.

If you add shipping it will come to about 100$ though. But then again, the lens is 110$ at B&H.

having the manufacturer warranty is why I buy new, the first copy of my tokina 11-16 the af didn't work at all.

no. I already have one... why would you think that
and I guess $90 is a reasonable price.
