I've noticed that a few AF lenses that I was looking at in ebay went for
close to retail. Has anyone noticed this recently? I'm wondering whether the release of the *istD is responsible for some of this.
For example, a recent auction of an FA* 80-200 2.8 went for almost
$1100, when you could get one new for just a little over that at B&H. The bidding for this went up really high in the last 5 minutes or so, I thought I was going to get it for around $650. :(

I noticed this with Canon lenses. Been looking for a Canon Macro. Several have gone recently almost for retail price -- only $20-30 less, if that. I keep thinking, "the idiots, why not buy new then?" It probably has to do with the release of the 300D.
So wouldn't be a bit surprised if the same thing happened with Pentax lenses.
