If you really want to sell this lens, I'd lower the price. One can purchase this lens brand new less then what you are offering.

The Canon 70-200 f/2.8 L IS lens is currently $1800 at Adorama. Not sure where you are shopping that you can get it new for less than $1375 and actually have it delivered.

I did not intend to give offense. I saw this lens being offered at lower prices by just googling. Here is a site to check out: http://www.store.net-shopping.us.tc/index....;productID=1247

My apologies, the lens in the site above does not seem to be an L lens. I was an interested buyer and decided to google for prices.

Googleing can lead you to many scam artists on the internet. I f you look at the contact us page you will see toronto London and another location. Good Luck getting anything from them and then there are the Brooklyn NY scam artists. Who practice in bait and switch. Best advice find a godd retailer and stick with them you will get better service and better prices in the long run. I use Roberts Imaging for my new canon purchases and Ken Hansen for my Leica purchases. I have known Ken for 30 years and Roberts for 10 years. Adorama and B& H are fine for mass market camera dealers but Allens in Penn Samy's in LA, are very good pro dealers.

There are plenty of really low prices on the internet, but they are scams virtually 100% of the time. "Just googling" for cameras and electronics gets the scam prices.

Check any retailer at Reseller Ratings, and be surprised (or not.)

That link you posted is the 70-200/2.8 L IS Lens, which retails for $1800. That web site claims to sell it for $846. Somehow I have my doubts, though Reseller Ratings does not yet have any reviews for that site.

Buyer beware.
