Just looked at a few quotes on a few lenses I have at KEH especially on a rare lens recently bought at an estate sale a SMC PENTAX F ★300mm/F4.5 ED [IF] they only offered $352.00 in like new condition, that is quite a major bit shy of what it is worth. I would never sell this lens I have been looking for one for years.
Then I just saw what this lens is being sold for at the first link (primes), If that can be done at $6,000 plus I just may have to consider parting with this lens, that buys a lot lot of equipment. (you would line me up at a firing squad if you knew what I paid for it)

They were a bit off spot for an SMC F 50 1.7 like new condition $86.00. This lens sells in the 125 to 225 dollar range on eBay. This offer would be taken in a real pinch
and the SMC F 35-135 F3.5-4.5 MACRO Like new $64.00.This lens sells in the 95 to 115 dollar range on eBay. So this offer would do in a pinch
