Well, here's my experience:

Skip's ebay history shows a range of $76 to 233 with an average of $139.

My personal experience was selling two of them, one for $110 (EX) and one
for $103 (VG) and one for $120 (EX+) and one for $84 (VG).

The prices have seen a steady fall recently, particularly for this lens.  In
the condition you describe, for someone I work with, I would probably offer
$125.  Probably a touch higher than you could get with patience on ebay, but
you have two things going for you.  1) You've actually seen and played with
the lens and 2) this is someone you will see everyday and if you lowball
them and they find out -- well, you get the idea.

Good luck!

Tom
