Originally posted by lonestar0 Rough looking lens and the seller will only drop $500 to $8500 US. This lens is still on Ebay (8/16/2016), 7 months later. There is another one that came on Ebay recently and is still unsold:
Pentax FA 250 600mm Supertelephoto Zoom Lens | eBay
Curious.....Did anyone see this lens when it came on Ebay last week?......
Yes I did... I am looking with interest each and every FA*250-600 that come up in eBay or other places...
I did had a chat a couple years ago with a local used materials shop who know Pentax well and he told me at that time that a very good copy could worth between $ 7000 and $ 10 000 Canadian. (when USD-CAD exchange was near the par...)
in 2013, there was one advertised at $ 13500 US, it was displayed for quite a long time... Don't know how it ended...
I have seen many within the range $ 5-7K US, which seems the average so far... I did not made real statistics though.
