At first I swore it had to be the IS version. But it's not. Someone's going to have a bad day when they realize how much it's worth. Do people not research before they buy? :/

Yes. Used, these usually go for around $450-$500.

You can buy them brand new for about $700.

Yep Brand new @ B&H $709.00 and free shipping. A Duh

Well that's gonna suck for whoever gets it.

Yes and the poor sole is probably getting exicted the auction is ending in around 17 minutes and has a chance to win it for $863.00 plus shipping cost, what a shame that is.

"Goodwill"

The Goodwills here are pretty...Well...Clueless because they have so much inventory.

I bought a functional 35mm enlarger for $20. The woman working there just kind of eye'd it and shrugged her shoulders lol

It's not! That's the crazy part!

The box would say "f/4L IS" on it.

Crazy...
