My dilemma with the 17-40 is multi-fold :-
I am travelling for 2 weeks from this weekend so pointless to keep thread open
Thread is only 48hours old and many buyers only visit over weekend
I am not a stickler for my price but offers ought to be within reasonable range
If one compares all the Posts for this lens in last 7 days you will see a range
From $ 520 to $ 788. The Lens posted at $ 520 is 5years older and without
Box and Pouch. The Lens at $ 788 is one year older
So when you consider all factors I really ought to withdraw for now and
See what it fetches in say a month from now.
Off course it's in perfect condition and fully useable as a decent substitute to
EF 11-24 on a rainy day or in harsh conditions when it maybe prudent to
Keep the 11-24 , which cannot take filters, in the dry cab
My attitude to camera gears has always been to buy the best that I can use
and afford .. So if ultimately it all gets to Zero Value in 10 years that's still
Fine ... Miuch cheaper write-off than Buying A Car ..
7 days may be too short to gauge,i think 3 months is good.
Iam not very familiar with this lens resale value,but based on your 7 days data,I guess it might be nobody needs it at the moment. if you are not in a hurry to sell,just leave the thread open and wait for the right buyer.
