If it's local, i'll go ahead and do it. If it's anything internet wise, i wouldn't bother. You might end up regretting it if anything goes sour..

I'd beg, borrow, or steal that $1800 (if i didn't have it) in order to grab that puppy! :D But yeah, i'd be wary of it being stolen.

I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I'd go to the bank, take the cash out of my house downpayment fund and get that damned lens. If you don't really want it, I'll pay you double for it after you buy it. So long as it raelly is the IS version and all is clean and in working order.
