I sold my 17-55 IS lens on ebay 2 years ago and netted 700 something after the ebay fee and paypal fee. I had the lens hood with it as well. I was just glad to get rid of it but I lost a good chunk of change in the sale. Bought the 16-35II where I will own this lens for my entire lifetime. Popular, must have vocal length L-lenses will have a higher demands advertised on the bigger forums say like photo.net


I try and never use Ebay anymore as their fees have gotten so high and then there is paypal.


When the economies good and people have extra money to spend then used lens prices are higher. Since the economies been in the pooper not a good time to sell.
