Canon EF 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6 USM - What's it worth?

[beanbag]

Now that I've got a 70-200mm f/2.8L on its way, I've got my old 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6 USM up for grabs.

Any idea what it's worth?

It's got a skylight filter which has never been removed since I bought it, and also comes with a genuine Canon lens hood (ET-54).

Here's an example of one of the shots taken with it using my 40D at the MotoGP in Brno.

You can pick these up new from under £100. Try it on e-bay and see. I would look for IS before USM though. Both if I had the cash of course.

I thought about selling mine a month ago or so.

Looking around, "not much" seemed to be the answer. So I'm keeping it as a spare.

To be honest, I doubt I'd use it again once my 70-200 arrives so it seems a bit of a waste to leave it lying about, plus any funds gained from this would go towards a new tripod.

Does anyone want to make me an offer? (Keep in mind I live in Austria so I can post it at whatever the post office here quotes me at).

You can also wait until June 22nd, when I'm back in the UK for a week so I can post it free of charge then.....
