I would totally agree. if you could find a 70-200 l f4 for $500.00
I paid half that for my 70-300 4-5.6 is USM

I would rather have the L, lol

Here is one, he will never get $650 for it but can't hurt for him to ask. I'd offer him $500, worst he can say is no. Find out how bad he wants to get engaged anyway   http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/pho/3630067298.html

$500 actually seems a bit high.  I sold mine a couple years ago for $425, and it was in excellent condition.  They frequently go for anywhere between $425 and $500 on POTN.  Craigslist prices are often way out of line.

The prices have gone up since the Japan quake.

Have any of you been to Kenmore Camera?  I was in there a few days ago looking at used lens.  Prices seemed to be much better than Craigslist.

Thanks to all of you again.

Did a quick search on POTN for the 70-200 f4 non-IS:

Grandpaw already showed you a link for one that is still available there for $500
One sold last week for $475
There's another one currently available for $500
Another one sold on eBay for $500 last week (listed on POTN too)
Another is currently available for $490

I did not see any for sale where the seller was asking for more than $500

I'm just trying to make a point that there's no need to pay more than $500 just because somebody on Craigslist is being selfish or greedy.

I wouldn't pay more than $500 either.

A buddy of mine scored big time at Best Buy last week. While browsing through the camera section, there was a box with a hand written price tag of $1200.00
He turned it over and it said it was a return with full warranty,
EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM 

He bought it, brought it home, and when he opened the box there was a EF 70-200mm f/4L USM in the box,
not a EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM.
He took it back to Best Buy, and the return guy agreed, they ordered him a new lens.
He picked up his brand new
EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM on Friday. They called when it came in so he took the day off to play with it.

Some people have all the luck

Sounds like someone took advantage of the lack of knowledge at the Best Buy counter. Buy a new 70-200 2.8 II and put your almost identical 70-200 f4 in the box and return it.
