So what you're saying is...

Ah good old 3rd party sellers that don't know their ( )( ) from a hole in the ground. I'll buy books on amazon sometimes and then scroll down the list to finding somebody trying to sell this $30 book for $999.

I can buy this new for $99, or used for $145 (which is even higher than the marked down price)?

I'm thinking I'll buy about 10 of them new, then sell them used. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

At least some of the used ones are the old metal mount Mk I lens, rather than the plastic Mk II version. That accounts for at least some of the higher pricing, and it's pretty typical for this kind of thing -- the old one actually gets more valuable when it seems they've cheaped out on a replacement.

Of course, some of these might be people already implementing your idea with the Mk II lens.
