Is this a joke? Used quote from B&H

I didn't sell photo gear before, but I'd like to get close to the used market value; e.g. if one item sells on ebay for an avg. of $500, I expect to get at least $450 (of course by selling directly).
I just don't like giving away 50%, that's all...

And about the MSRP - it's true, I bought the lens for 770CAD + 14% local taxes 2 or 3 years ago (on special)
