I am looking for a 300mm f/2.8 USM IS or non IS in perfect condition. Would rather buy it used if I can find a clean sample.

| I highly doubt you will find such a beast here...6 people have this lens listed on their profile. You'll have better luck on RobGalbraith, FredMiranda, SportsShooter... |

| There is one on eBay. I think this is the lens you are referring too. |

| That lens that Scott linked to on eBay looks like a real possibility. I would normally be very cautious about spending that kind of $ there but the seller has over 1100 transactions and not a single negative feedback. Many, many photos of the lens, too- it looks well used but none the worse for it. I don't know if eBay still offers escrow service (they used to) but if they do then that would make it very safe. |

Remember that on eBay, used lenses usually go for a premium. It's more of a seller's market. I've seen used lenses go for as much as new. Doctornick's recommendations are good. You might have to be patient, but in the end you should be rewarded.
On eBay, try checking "show completed items" to explore the recent market (if any, LOL). You'll need to log in to show them, and realize that not all of them are completed sales.
Edit, recent sales for the 300/2.8 show an IS version that went for $3500 and a couple of non-IS lenses that went for $3000 and $3100. As predicted, you could pretty much buy new at these prices.
