Pentax lens prices

[Robert Gonzalez]

I've noticed that a few AF lenses that I was looking at in ebay went for 
close to retail. Has anyone noticed this recently?  I'm wondering 
whether the release of the *istD is responsible for some of this.

For example, a recent auction of an FA* 80-200 2.8 went for almost 
$1100, when you could get one new for just a little over that at B&H. 
The bidding for this went up really high in the last 5 minutes or so, I 
thought I was going to get it for around $650.  :(
