Fair price question - 06-24-2009, 12:01 AM


I ran across a person with a Nikon 300mm f2.8 af-s Version I lens that is not getting a lot of use. I have been looking for one of these lenses used for some time now. The lens is in almost mint condition and includes the hood (not the carbon fiber), rear cap, trunk case, and front cover. He wants $2700 for the lens. Anyone have any input on whether this is a fair price? Thanks for any help.

I bought two 300mm f/2.8 AF-S II lenses recently and paid about $3100 for each. Mine were in excellent condition with covers and a soft bag. $2700 isn't out of range, but IMHO is at the top for this lens. Good luck, they are excellent lenses for sports!

Thanks, Scott. I was thinking this price may have been a little on the high end, but wanted a little input from others before trying to negotiate. I really want one of these lenses, but did not want to let my wants get the best of me!!!!
