Sez I: "Hey, here is a picture of my new camera!" Sez she: "Oh, you bought a new camera!?!" Sez I: "No, I haven't bought it yet. I asked Mitch a couple of months ago to make sure he got one in for me as soon as it is available." Sez she: "How much? $1500?" Sez I: "No, it will be less than that. Mitch will charge the MSRP, I don't know yet what that will be. Probably around $1000" Sez she: "Oh, that isn't as much as the last one."
This is the result of 8+ years of fairly frequent buying and selling of lenses and cameras. Starting with a $100 ME-Super... It is like the eBay buyer/seller ratings; at some point the details don't matter, it is only the volume that leaves any impression, and one more doesn't make much difference.
