The ending price doesn't seem that out of line to me, I expected a price

Yes, especially, as the lens appears to have the highly-sought-after 
yellowing of the glass.

The glass yellowing is no longer an issue, its easily
cleared by a UV lamp in a few days

Seems that old "repair" method is now obsolete.

I'll bet the owner of that web site feels a bit stupid now that the real
cure for yellowing is known! (Not that "using the lens just for black &
white film" wasn't *always* an option!)
