Hi Ray - you have a long memory.
If I recall correctly I jibbed your price by private mail -

Subject: EOS: 400 f/2.8 II for sale or trade
I have just recently purchased a Canon 400 f/2.8 II lens
and now
wish I had the 600 F4.0 instead. I've used it only
twice since I
bought it and have all the papers and metal trunk that
came with
it. There's not a scratch anywhere on it. I would be
willing to
sell for $6,800. with a 30 day money back guarantee or
trade for
like quality Canon 600 f/4.0 lens.

Today I see this lens on ebay with attempted starting bids of $4,300 to
$4,500 --
While B&H advertises them for $4,000 (grey) $4,200 (USA).
Of course these lenses, new with warranty, were only a little less than
your then asking price.
Funny, this goes back to March 1998. I'd begun to think we've "kissed and
made up." since then,
I'm willing.
Regards,
Plumviewer
