just picked up a sigma 150-500 lens off ebay for $700 used, but looks in mint condition with original box and all parts. thought it seemed like a good price?

Hard to tell without seeing some output from the lens. It may be a good buy or it may be a "pup" if it was a "bad copy". How it looks on the outside is irrelevant to how it performs on your camera, so let us know how it goes.:confused013

Any deal is only good, if you get good use out of the product. No matter what you pay, is not worth it, if you don't use it.

I just bought a new one from my local Camera House store for $1099, (which comes with 2 years warranty) so you saved nearly $400 :).

I have this lens and one bit of advice I can give you, it loves light. No light, no fun. Oh and start doing weights if you gonna handheld for any amount of time.
