I was going to say beware of scams but Keh has it for a little more... It's a great lens, I wonder why its price has fallen so much...

I have a feeling the lens is slated for replacement.

While it's one of their better lenses, it's getting a bit long in the tooth. They've been concentrating on the lower-end EF-S STM's for a while. A high-quality almost L EF-S lens would certainly help with the non-video people. Really, the newest lens out there in that regard is the 15-85, which was released with the 7D!
