That's the new price. You can get the Tamron 10-24 used for US $400 or less. The OP seems to be only looking at new prices...But I've seen it for $356.71 new.

$1 USD = $1.35 CAD.

Well, I think I'm now leaning more towards a Samyang or Rokinon because of the manual apertures. I'll keep doing research

Out of curiosity, how much would I be able to get for my 16-45 if I were to post it on here? Or would I have better luck on ebay?

Check the sold listings on eBay. Anther good place to check is KEH. KEH has 2 right now. 1 for $159 in EX with no hood or caps, and 1 for $192 in EX+ with hood and caps. Recent sold listing on eBay range from $109.50 to $325...
