pricing a zuiko 180

[back alley]

i cannot find one of these, zuiko 180/2.8 lens, for sale anywhere.
i have looked on ebay and done a completed sale search but to no avail.
i am getting more serious about selling mine but am nowhere when it comes to pricing.
i have also checked at all the usual suspects but found nothing.
anyone know where there might be one advertised so i can get a hint as to price?

thanks.

I don't know how recent the data is, but you might look here:

Skip is a good guy and I'm sure would be happy to correspond via email.

How about (for one extreme):

or, Collectible Cameras (Ritz Camera) has a nice looking one:

i had checked on the ritz site but somehow missed it.
so far it looks like $325. to to almost $700. for the lens.

time for some thinking...

KEH's automated offer to buy a 180 2.8 with light wear but clean was $108... so I figure they'd sell it for around $250 - $300. FWIW.

That's what I bought mine for at Xmas last year (BGN).

i never thought of that ken, thanks!

i took a good hard look at the 180 last night and the glass isn't perfect. i think it might be a 'bargain' grade at keh. it's very smooth though.
