You make a number of points that I didn't consider. Sorry again for looking at things "glass half empty" style -- it's just what I'm used to seeing on eBay (via negative feedback gleaned in other peoples' profiles, and a couple of my own auctions).

I will issue an apology for jumping to conclusions considering it's common practice on eBay -- but, in the case that you are an honest person (which you seem to be), I would prepare for "buyers remorse" to set in very quickly when your buyer learns more about the lens, or perhaps if eBay finds out that it's a fraudulent/hacked account. There is simply no legitimate reason to pay $1000 for a $200 lens, no matter how much they want it. The lens isn't that rare/scarce (yet).
Again, my apologies for simply stating what would normally be the case on eBay, but I wouldn't go spending that money yet... I hope you get to keep it, but with just the information available to an outside observer, you can see how it looks. Best of luck, and no hard feelings.

A bidding increase of $750 between two buyers, one of whom has only 3 feedback... definitely a scam to artificially inflate the average asking price of this lens, or at the very least just a deadbeat bidder.
No one's that stupid.
EDIT: also check out "bid activity with this seller in the past 30 days" -- 79% of 39 transactions. Definitely one of "elanjeff"s buddies, toying around with eBay. I certainly wouldn't do business with them if they're a member here (as they pointed to this thread). And I surely wouldn't be surprised if "c***s" receives a second-chance offer if by some incredibly rare chance, they placed a legitimate bid.
