There is one for $625 on Denver's Craigslist right now, which would be tempting if I hadn't just blown a lot of moola on silver Limiteds.
People tend to sell for less than whatever they bought it for, which may be quite disconnected from the current new prices. With any SDM lens, I would be suspicious of AF motor problems unless I had the opportunity to try it out in person. SDM lenses are not something I would recommend purchasing online, at least without a good Return Policy, due to such concerns.
