I'm considering the 100-400L and I've been looking around at prices. B&H has if for $1389.

Evay has them listed currently from $1399 - $1847. Why would someone risk Ebay when you can get it at B&H for less?

I don't get it. Am I missing something?

Anybody have any other ideas about a better price?

No sense in wondering these things as long as it isnt affecting you, IMO. Just let ebay go... And be themselves. Stuff has gotten way out of hand in the past year or two...

When I sold my 70-200 f2.8 on Ebay, it wasn't new. It was in good condition but not new, yet it sold for only $60 less that what I paid for it new. It astounded me! Some of the prices there (and what people are willing to pay for) is shocking and often higher than retail. These days, ebay makes me very uneasy and I don't like to do business there unless I can help it.

By the way, you'll love the 100-400L! Did you buy it?

Not everyone know about this forum or B&H. They just thought Ebay is the best place. Most of the time, people compare it with "local retail" price. In the same token, you will see MANY MEMBERS here try to pull the same trick by listing on ebay and want to get back almost the same value with the new price when they use the lens for yearsssssssss..
