Hi Bob, thanks for your thoughts about this matter. The current going prices for an FA* 80-200 mm. 2.8 in good shape in the last few months, with slight signs of use and without the original lens pouch or box are between 1420 and 1500 euros, being 2000 euros the biggest price I have seen in the last 3 months, in this case for a boxed, like new unit; so I don't think it is a high price although I understand that others may think otherwise. I can provide pictures for a prospective buyer to see the condition of the lens and judge by himself/herself. As I said the blemish is very small, and apart from that the lens is in like new condition, but I always try to describe what I'm trying to sell the best I can, as some members of this list I have sold several items to can attest. When I want to sell a Pentax-related item I always try the list first, because I prefer dealing with known list members and that way I also can avoid going to Ebay. I know it is rather difficult to sell this lens to a list member, for several reasons. Most list members are bargain hunters (like myself), and the ones who want, need or can afford this lens already own it.
