This is a highly regarded lens. I was following the auction for this copy because it is ostensibly in nice shape:

When the whale (814 feedback score) came in I was bummed, but it's a free marketplace. Anyway, this time the whale's max bid, $51.00, got lit up. This doesn't happen when whales win an auction.
I figure whales know more about lens prices than me and are smarter bidders than me, so I try to learn from their max bids when (if) those max bids become visible. For me this auction outcome was interesting and instructive. |
