Sorry to hear you lost it...but you have to act fast. The seller took the money...can't blame him. He didn't necessarily know you would buy it for sure.

Wow the sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 can be had for $720 after 10% off coupon code at amazon right now. Soooo tempting but I cant spend that much money right now, I had it in my cart 3 times but resisted.

That is typical the case. For popular good quality lens, if you buy it used (in good condition), you should be able to sell it back for about the same price you buy it from. I bought my Tamron for $300, if I sell it for $300 after using it for a year, I bet people still want to buy it. So next time, if you see a good popular lens like that for sell, if the price is right, you should get it. If you do not like it, just sell it back.

Yeah I have noticed several popping up on craigslist but they are just a bit further then I want to travel. I am sure I will have another chance to get this lens for a decent price soon. Either that or ill just go with the 35mm AF-S f1.8 for $199 seems like a pretty nice lens and its even faster then the tamron. Only problem is that is out of stock everywhere as well haha.
