Hello,

   I have a perfectly working 50mm Minolta AF lens. This is the f/1.7

version with 49mm lens thread. It comes with a 49mm UV filter (Star-D

Skylight, made in Japan) and the rear lens cap. The front lens cap is

missing.



   Pictures are available upon request.  Send me a message off the list

if interested.



Price is $90.



Shipping is $15 within North America.





I have been a member of this group for a couple of years and have

already sold a couple of Minolta items here including Minolta Maxxum 9

and 7 (I still miss them). I also have hundreds of positive feedback

on Ebay.



Thanks for looking,  Ramin

Hi,

    I just bought one on ebay for $5.00....it cost more to ship it. :-)

   Good luck getting $90.

You bought one for $5? Is that what you really paid? Do you want to

tell us how you could buy it for that price? Was is a 'buy it now'?



They normally sell for $90-$100 on ebay. I can imagine a someone who

has no idea about the price of this lens puts up an auction with 'buy

it now' for $% and the lucky person is the one who first sees this

auction to jump over it. Otherwise, they really go up to the price

range mentioned above.

What was that Ebay item number?





Chuck

Hi Everyone,

     I'm sorry for the false information. The lens I bought was a MF version,

ebay item number

   160238612410. I read the post and was thinking MF prices.

   .  I have seen 50mm f1.7 AF versions sell for under $60 many times and in this

case with a camera for $45, item # 190220825859. Or alone for $60 , #

270235058075 or for $57, item number 200221615417. Here is one with a Maxxum

7000 for $74: 310046618699

     It's often cheaper to buy one with a camera body.

     If anyone here is offended...sorry....but whenever I offer anything for sale

to friends (which I assume we all are here) I offer it at a lower, reasonable

price. When I'm looking for more money...I go ahead and list it on ebay. I think

it's a more courteous way of selling in a yahoo group. So when people post

things for sale in yahoo groups that I can find for less money...I'm offended.

Some of those are a bit nasty looking and/or include the 'I am not

an expert so I don't know if this works' kind of disclaimer, hence

the low-ball pricing.



> It's often cheaper to buy one with a camera body.



Yes, if you happen to also want a camera body. Otherwise you just end

up with something else that you then have to try to sell. We've all

been there, I'm sure.



> If anyone here is offended...sorry....but whenever I offer anything

We've had this discussion in the past as well. This group has 5500+

members. Rest assured that there are plenty of lurkers out there who

monitor this and other groups for the sole purpose of grabbing up

bargain offers intended for friends. That helps nobody other than the

lurkers.



IMHO, these are good guidelines:



If you have something to offer at a bargain price, do it privately.

If you have something to offer publicly here, do it at approximately

market (eBay) price.

If you see a public offer here that you don't like... ignore it.



- RL

Rick,



Are you positive you didn't get a Rokkor or plain MD?  As many have

already said, $90 is definitely in the market range.



Here's a list of recent final prices on ebay: 119.99, 100.99, 135

(BIN), 76, 144.10, 105.50, 89, 90, 107.50, 89.95.



You got a great deal if it is a working AF model.

Rhoel,

     Your correct, I made a mistake. But if you read my last post I listed

several completed ebay auctions where the AF lens went for much cheaper than

$90.

     For those who feel it's a "steel" I suggest you buy it, however, if your

search hard enough they can be found for less.

   best regards,

   Rick

Don't worry about the offense.



As other also mentioned, $90 is the lower end of average price for

which this lens sells. For anything lower, you need to keep watching

to hopefully get a bargain price. In this calculation, if you take

into account the amount of time you need to spend to get that super

cheap deal, you may realize the final deal wasn't that great. What's

the point of spending a couple of hours looking around and finally

getting this lens for $50 (for example)?



All in one, I did gather some some sold prices from around before

setting up the post.

Rick,



I find your post unpleasant. The way you put it seams like Ramin is selling his

50mm for 18 times it's price. If you are interested on the lens, you could

argued that the no-brand UV filter is worthless, or about the missing front cap.



But there is NO WAY you can buy nowadays a 50mm f1.7 AF Minolta for 5 US$ unless

it was a "for parts only" or the seller was a bad (ignorant) ebuyer. I got mine

for 30 US$ more than 3 and a half years ago, before the 7D came out, when nobody

gave a dam for Konica Minolta, and because I got it at the Adorama Used

Department, they had 4 on stock and I work there!



Ramin has been a member of this list for a while and deserve more respect.



Regards



Pako

Thanks Palo for the message. Right now there are two of these lenses

on EBay for sale. They will end within an hour. However bids on these

lenses are already up to $112.50. So $90 is still a bargain price.

I agree on all counts.  Ramin is a longer-term member who has a very good grasp

of lens values and trading prices.  I can't believe

you actually got a properly working AF 50mm f1.7 lens for $5 unless shipping

cost was over $60.  Even if your buy is an

apples-to-apples comparison, it is so very rare and unlikely that your comment

is truly inconsiderate of Ramin't fair price for gear

in prime condition in today's market.

$90 is a steal at just under 1/2 the price for another one that

recently ended: Minolta Maxxum AF 50mm f/1.7 lens fits Sony A100 5D

7D Item number: 230247799402 - Acutally $90 is under what they are on

average finishing at today. Or we can look at the beercan that went

for $457....Item number: 260238179335

KW> $90 is a steal



I recently sold my 50/1.7 at $125.  I've been keeping track of Min/Kon-Min

items on ebay for a while (looking to pick up bargains, of course), and

while there were some outliers in the data for the 50/1.7, the average price

over the last 10 that I've kept track of, was $105.



regards

colin

$90 is a steal at just under 1/2 the price for another one that

recently ended: Minolta Maxxum AF 50mm f/1.7 lens fits Sony A100 5D

7D Item number: 230247799402 - Acutally $90 is under what they are on

average finishing at today. Or we can look at the beercan that went

for $457....Item number: 260238179335

Hi Everyone,

I'm sorry for the false information. The lens I bought was a MF version,

ebay item number

160238612410. I read the post and was thinking MF prices.

. I have seen 50mm f1.7 AF versions sell for under $60 many times and in

this case with a camera for $45, item # 190220825859. Or alone for $60 , #

270235058075 or for $57, item number 200221615417. Here is one with a Maxxum

7000 for $74: 310046618699

It's often cheaper to buy one with a camera body.

If anyone here is offended...sorry....but whenever I offer anything for

sale to friends (which I assume we all are here) I offer it at a lower,

reasonable price. When I'm looking for more money...I go ahead and list it

on ebay. I think it's a more courteous way of selling in a yahoo group. So

when people post things for sale in yahoo groups that I can find for less

money...I'm offended.

TTFN

Rick :-)
