Im about to pull the trigger on one of these and I was wondering the difference in pricing and the going rate?

From what I see its about 1400-1600 for the 2.8 IS and 1000-1200 for the 4 IS

If this is not the case please let me know .. Im a little lost and I want to know what should I be expecting to pay ..

thanks ..

Do a search for each in the Sell section, It's what I would do.

For a used one - yes
For a new one - scam

use one on the streets ..

I had hands of yesterday, but I thought it was an IS and he was going to let it go for 1200 .. once I got there it wasnt the IS so I left .. maybe now I hit him up and offer him 700 for the none IS and maybe he will bite ...

Have to love the hood in Jersey .. :p

Good luck mate...

Excellent lens, picked up a used one myself not so long ago, 2.8 IS for about $850 USD, condition was a bit sad externally, internally, after Canon's service, is as good as gold...:)
