It's different for everyone. On e-bay, they sell for more than they cost brand new. On Craigslist, usually ~10% off. For you, a fair price is whatever you are willing to pay for it.


Personally, I would want 30-40% off to persuade me from just buying new. The I.S. will start to die eventually. With a heavily used lens it will be sooner than one that is only seeing action for a few hours a week. If I knew for certain (somehow) that the lens was well cared for (perfect collimation), and used only lightly, then I would buy it for 15-20% off.
