$199 for a used copy sounds a bit on the high side.

Canon USA currently sells this lens refurbished (with a 1 year factory warranty) for $240. In December they had it on sale for US $130,

A quick search on Amazon shows "white box" copies of this lens selling for around $150.

It was on sale with full warranty for $199 CAD, which was roughly $150 USD. I attempted to buy a refurbished lens (and 80D) through Canon U.S.A., but they do not allow sales outside of the States. They wouldn't even let me use my credit card or PayPal and have it shipped to a U.S. address.
