I see, so be it, I mean such lens for me can always have 50 Pound plus or minus when buying or selling.
Actually I preferred local pick up as I am have no paypal (failed to make one as I am not good in net), and I am happy to talk lens and might come low or add a 2X TC while selling this one. It really is not for selling the lens, it is for buying something else.

Thanks for your boost, let's see.

Nobody is there to buy this one?
Surprising, really.

Are you guys finding the price hard or something disturbing in the snaps here?
I have seen M star lens here for 350 Pound and I am asking the same for a A lens

Weekends are like off periods in school, where life starts living then and there only.
Woke up this Saturday with Sun and thought of going for a visit to the car boot sale with my camera and for my camera.
Had Pink Floyd in my ears, 50mmf1.7 on my K100D and tears in my eyes for the cold biting wind in the morning.
Off this heady mix, my mind was again thinking why I do photography. Why I cheer up when a lens shows sharp results, a sensor does not show much noise and I have no contribution for their performance. Why I look for formation, graphic simplicity in a photograph when life is so irregular, and more confusing it becomes, when I actually capture (try to) life in photography. Even when I know content can erase any question of image resolution, clarity in any photograph, I choose to ask and try to achieve better clarity, resolution in a photograph more than trying to find real content in it.

And there, on the street, my eyes were looking for shots as it's habit and found this.

True happiness comes in photography when I just shoot without bothering about lens, body, worrying about shake, apperture, shutter speed yet the photo comes good. When I know what I want or know that I want nothing but to give my salute to the beauty or passion in the object. When I do not expect anything, I do not worry, I get the most happiness in seeing that photo. When a photo gives a time back to me everytime I see it, when a photo just say peace of mind, I am happy for having photography as my hobby.

I live in future as I shoot photos to see it later, I buy music CDs to listen to them later, buy books to read but hardly use them all. I do not live in present because I put my 99% of my time in thinking, arranging and shooting photographs when I am free in my weekends and in holidays rather than just relaxing in seeing, listening and enjoying life at that moment. But I sometime get some photos which I am sure will give me my times back to me as memories.

I recently bought a 20 years old lens costing a huge amount that took my three night's sleep in trying to justify it's purchase. I had to sale almost all of my screw mount lenses for that. All this just to capture Moon, gaining some flatness and change of perspective and sharpness, colours in photos and madness of having more and more lenses. But, listening to Pink Floyd, I thought, why not? What else will there be to differ between me and my times of agony for not being able to buy a Canon L lens.

I am glad that Photography is not my profession to put my creativity, my lust for life in to it by the amount and way others want it. There still are some lucky one who do photography for clients by the way (quality and content) he wants it.
It is my hobby where I am my boss. Where I have my own world. Where I can paint in 1/125 second. This is the hobby, where I can mix art I understand and love and science I read.
Where I do not have to perform by other's expectation, schedules, dates, qualities or contents. Where we are all friends to talk about our creation.

Thanks to all of for clearing my guilty mind (guilty for putting so much money just for my hobby and not for my family) by giving valuable inputs for this lens.
And,a special thanks for the clue of the photo gallery search by image data which leaves me in ZERO doubt.
Thanks again.

I am happy that I made a right decision in shifting to Pentax from Canon.
