Actually, if the lens is in good shape, it's probably underpriced (i.e., the 
winning bidder got a good deal).  If the lens is pristine, the winning bidder 
got a *great* deal.

The "list" price for the Zuiko 350/2.8 is $11,040.00 U.S. from Olympus.

B&H's website lists *their* new price for this lens at $6,299.95 U.S.  B&H 
probably has the most aggressive new retail pricing on the planet for this 
lens, as well as the 250/2.0.  I suppose it's the best example of a "street" 
price for this lens.
