This is really idiot purchase. For about the same money I bought the Contax 35-70.

Wow! I paid $29 for the SP 35-80 in October! This seems like more than I would want to put up for that lens.
I also think that the 60-300 is a little high...I've been seeing them going for $60-$80 last year.

Great shot.
I guess these Tamron lenses have been undervalued for a long time, but some of these prices are a little extreme...

Ah, two bidders determined to not let the other have it, as usual. Even mint, it's not worth that, imo. I paid about a tenner for one that was well-used but still working perfectly fine.
Not bad for a mint example, if true. I paid 30ukp for mine and it was mint outside - different story inside, though.
What I found slightly galling was that several examples came up shortly after mine and all went cheaper.

Not alone on here, of course.
