You have two options: sell it in as-is condition, or send it to Canon for repair. Choose one. Canon should give you an estimate once they have their lens on the repair bench. FYI, don't hold your breath for your lens to make it onto the bench.

We're a Canon/Profoto family: five cameras, sixteen lenses, fifteen Profoto lights, too many modifiers.
I would send it to Canon and at least get an estimate. You'd only have to pay postage one way if you decided not to have them fix it.
I know a few people haven't been satisfied with Canon Repair service and whatnot so maybe I got lucky, but they fixed my [out of warranty, 4 year old, bought second hand from eBay] 20D pretty fast. I sent it in April 11, got it back April 22. That covers time for the quote as well as repairs. I live in western PA so shipping to NJ wasn't bad either.
I live in Korea so trying to find the damn service centre is difficult enough!
plan a vacation to Irvine CA. Plan on a few weeks [:P]
Surely going to Japan would be a better vacation. Much easier to get to and Canon central []
Well I just got my quote back from the service centre. A hefty $200. Surely this is too much?
sounds like a deal to me. When I broke my 17-40L it ended up costing 450$ to fix. Which beat buying a new one...I guess.
