Hard time finding a lens

So I've been searching ebay and a few other places looking for a good price, and am I just going to have to dish out the money for a 85 mm lens? Are they just the popular and that hard to get? Or am I just trying to get them at the wrong time. Because I cant find a Canon or Nikon for under 200 or so, and if I do by the time the bids up its at at least 300 or it has some crazy reserve. Is there any good sites to check out. Because I'm stocking up for a film that Im shooting this next month and I got Loyd Kaufman In it doing a cameo and in a Bar scene and I want to have a complete set of lenses so I have something to really work with so at least his scene looks good. Because Im using natural light on top of it too for the dark dirty bar look. So Im stocking up.

A fast nikon 85mm lens cost definitely more than 200 bucks if it is in a good condition. You have to spend at least double than that unless you get extremely lucky...
 
Looked at Keh.com allready, any other sites? saw one but im trying to get lucky right now. Im restoring a vintage Triumph Bonneville Motorcycle I got a lot tied into that right now. And yeah Im going in this week to do some test shots. this bar is really small. there is barely any standing room behind the bar istelf. Were going in to do tests all around with and without lighting. We want to give it a really dingy look. Hoping the lights in the bar and everyone smoking cigs will help to give it an even more look of being a hole in the wall. But Im sure in the end it wont be enough light. I hope I dont So i can move around behind my characters. Heh
