Sid, I bought one of those (in Nikon AF D mount) that was in like new condition, for $220. I got a bargain. I think that you could get one for $250 to $275 if you watch camera shows and swap meets but, the lens goes for about $479 brand new, so, with no warranty or money back guarantee, would be about $285. You have to consider your local circumstances, though. If you don't have local camera shows or swap meets, then $300 is not too bad a price.
