Cosmetics: great (I would rate it 8.5/10), with just 1 relatively bad scratch around the "N" letter in the "NIKKOR" logo.
Optics: immaculate (I would rate it 10/10), no scratches, fungus, clouding, wipe marks that I can discern; usual amount of internal dust can be seen
Mechanics: flawless; focus smooth, aperture nice firm clicks, blades oil-free, and open/close is snappy
Price: $275US + shipping + Paypal fee, if applicable (e.g., if you are in the US and want to pay me with Paypal funds, rather than credit card, then there is no Paypal fee). Other means of payment can be discussed, e.g., money order, personal check, etc.
Comes with: front & back caps and HN-1 hood designed for the lens. The front cap is kind of cruddy because the former owner put a masking tape with the number "24" on it which is stuck there and corroding  Also the Hoya 52mm UV(0) filter that, according to the previous owner, was always kept on the front of the lens since he purchased the lens 
I want you to take a very good look at the lens so I've uploaded full-size images
HERE
remember to click the magnifying glass icon to see the zoomed full size.
I will keep this here for 1 day, and if I don't get a taker, I'll put it up on Ebay.

Why are you selling, if I may ask?
Have you noticed, that you can use a 72 mm lens cap with HN-1 and HN-3 hoods, I believe also with a HN-2.

I'm just curious. We all have a wish list. Why stick to a certain order when buying lenses on the list.
Here is a perfect example of the lens from a reliable source. A full kit with hood and all.
Why wait because another lens is first on the queue?
Again just curious. I used to do the same. Now I take a lens from my queue based on condition and availability even should another lens be higher up the list.
I mean we all know the list will be exhausted soon enough and a new one made

I meant, that I have bought a 28/2, I´m waiting it to arrive. I must give a little time for my wallet to fatten up again... and I have a 24/2.8 I´m perfectly satisfied with. So maybe the next year... or next month...who knows.

Hi y'all, thanks for the conversation and the endorsements. I went out with this lens today to take some sample shots. If anybody wants this, you'd better hurry because the way some of the shots turned out, I might change my mind about selling it 
The middle shot, obviously, is cropped, so not a good example to measure edge sharpness, but color rendition is discernible. I curse my lack of photography skills, or I could make the lens look even better :-\

Click here to see on Ebay
The offer here still stands, with the condition that you contact me before I get a bidder, so that I can cancel the auction without fees
