Google it: A new, in box, well-packaged Oly 40-150 f2.8 can be had from eBay - U.S. shipped or not for $1089.00 U.S. to $1109.00 dollars - and free shipping if from U.S. location with some venders.

Some Hong Kong based venders ship from U.S. locations and have positive feedback; aside from slow delivery of 12 days or so. I wouldn't recommend buying one of these with the thought you might return it - if it has to be returned to Hong Kong...

There appear to be many "watchers".

Read the reviews of venders carefully.

Discount worth taking a chance?

Probably ok if you locate a good seller with a 14 day return policy. When you get the lens test it yourself to be sure it is good. If not pay for return shipping. Overwhelming odds are that you get a good lens at a much reduced cost.
