I got mine on here for £800 which I think is a good basis if you are looking to buy one. You can try a search through the classifieds on here to see past sales, or do the ebay completed sales search.

£650 sounds like a bargain!

Mine was £860 on e-blag. (Didn't cost me that though as my father bought it for me).

Mine was £860 on e-blag. (Didn't cost me that though as my father bought it for me).About 2 year ago I paid that for a brand new one then got the £50 cashback:D stupid exchange rates. but that seems to be the going rate for used these days.

The chap who is offering me his wants £950 for it, virtually brand new, still with warranty, with a 77mm uv filter costing £65, do you guys think thats a fair price?:)

Not sure whether Canon warranties are transferrable, but if not, you may want to see whether the seller is prepared to act as a go between in the event of any faults within the 12 month warranty period..

Yeah, I would love the 70-200 and reckon I will end up with one at some point in the future, but the 100-400 would suit me better because of the range, was just wondering if the IQ is as good as the 70-200 though that everyone speaks so highly of?
