They buy it, then post it for sale in their classifieds. Overnight hundreds of thousands of clicks on their website, driving up their ad revenue. They could pass it around among a small cartel of papers. Each time jacking up the price $20,000, to build greater interest.............  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (3) | Huh?

This one was going for $75k in 2005: http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/321779 In January '08 this one was going for $99k: http://www.sportsshooter.com/message_display.html?tid=27811 Sixteen months later B&H is selling one for $120k. That's a better return on investment than renting it out, as suggested here: http://www.sportsshooter.com/message_display.html?tid=27912  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Also if you own this lens does it automatically qualify you for CPS and are the dues waved? I can see it now, some GWC, doctor or lawyer, on the sidelines of a HS Football game with this lens asking me what settings I use.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (1) | Huh?
