It looks like she will have a new home soon. One person is looking at her tomorrow in BC and another person from WA is looking at her next Tuesday.

The one B&H had for $4995 was ugly, scratched up and covered with tape. Mine is MINT and is now listed in the Marketplace on this forum.

Thank you for the tip. I had used the fee estimation tool without having a store and it was a total of $750.50 in fees at $7,750 selling price. I would rather sell it here for $7,000, but if I have to go to eBay then I will open a store to save some $$$.

Item for Sale
Insanely RARE Pentax FA* 250-600mm F/5.6 Lens IF & ED ***MINT***

Asking Price
7,000.00 USD

Item Location
British Columbia (Canada)

Item Description
Insanely RARE Pentax FA* 250-600mm F/5.6 Lens IF & ED ***MINT*** The last mention of a MINT copy that I can find sold on eBay for $7,650 a few years ago and a horribly ugly copy sold for somewhere under $5,000. I have a feeling that the prices will only go up when FX comes out. Unfortunately, I need cash now so this beauty is up for grabs! Please don't be afraid to make me an offer if you have cash and are close enough to meet up in person or are willing to fly in to British Columbia or Bellingham WA.


I got her from the original owner who supposedly only took her on two outings and then used her at home the rest of the time. She really is a 9.999/10 as the only two things that keep her from being 100% flawless are two snaps that are missing that hold the strap on the leather lens cover and if you look in exactly the right light you can see a few extremely light rub marks on the bottom of the barrel between the zoom ring and the mount that look like they could have been from a ring that the user was wearing. They are so light that most people would never see them as you really have to angle the lens just right in the light to even be able to see them. I only even mention them just to be 100% accurate and because I am extremely picky. Even the metal carrying case looks brand new.


I would much prefer someone that could pick her up in person in British Columbia or Northern WA, take some photos and see in person that all aspects of this lens are 100%. Otherwise, I will meticulously pack and ship her fully insured to a buyer in the Continental US or Canada. If no buyers pop up from those two locations, I may consider shipping to other countries. If I have to put her up on eBay, I will have to raise the price 10% to cover their 10% in seller fees.

I'm just doing what I can to dig up a little cash. My employer cut my wages 1/3 last year only seven months after getting married and buying a new house. Also, have her two kids to help support now and my savings is almost depleted.

I live part time in Canada and part time in the US. I have an Absolute MINT Condition FA* 250-600mm IF ED to sell. Even the metal carrying case is like brand new! eBay and PayPal fees have gotten pretty crazy these days, almost $1,000 on this lens. Where is the best place to sell it and what is the safest payment option?
