A recent exchange went as follows:
************
>I found a New Zuiko 50/3.5 in box, never used for sale at $225.

>My question is wether it is worth it's price.
It's a bit high for the US used market, but you have to judge what
"never used" is worth to you. . .
I see them on eBay for $100 to $150.

What?? The inquiry was in regards to a New in Box example.
You're quoting me out of context, Gary. The point I made was that he
would have to decide if the price differential was worth the "never
used" status.
... Condition
is a major factor in price and prices without conditions are confusing, at
best.
The other point I made was that "never used" does not necessarily
mean "working perfectly." In a fruitless search for a 135/4.5 macro
in NYC last spring, I saw a number of "never used" lenses pulled from
dealer shelves that had sticky, oily diaphragms.
