I just picked up a 50mm F/1.8 MKI for a whopping $20. I have no idea why they ever walked away from this design for the 50 1.8, it slaughters the mkII and may focus faster than my f/1.4

The 85mm ad was supposedly by someone who had a deceased family member and had put all their photo stuff in a bag and was selling the lot - the rest of the stuff was older lenses and older camera. They emailed me back about it to politely let me know it had sold from a non-spam looking email address, so I doubt it was stolen, but who knows. 5D3 | 24-105mm L | 85mm 1.8

Just keeping telling yourself that it was very likely stolen. That might make it hurt less... missing out on it. Kel

Looking through earlier today, saw a used 18-55 listed for $150, when you can buy them brand new for cheaper than that.
