I'm going to sell my used 500 supertele lens due to simple lack of use. I never became the wildlife photographer I planned. I will be posting it in the buy/sell forum.

I've been perusing the internet but haven't found really good insight into what I should be asking for it. I'm neither looking for absolute top dollar nor do I want to give it away. It'd be easier if version 1 were still in production as I could simply calculate a percent of new cost. There is one on ebay right now that's from a seller with good feedback and is priced BIN $6999. Is this in the ballpark or is he/she just hoping?

FWIW it's in nearly new condition, includes all that came with it new, also a black LensCoat and an aftermarket lens cap that's easier to use.

I sincerely appreciate any help. gary
