Current retail pricing on this lens is US $6995 at B&H in New York.  You might save a considerable amount of money by placing a winning bid on this one:-). Flat rate shipping that includes insurance applies only to 48 contiguous USA states.  For all others, shipping plus insurance will need to be calculated based on final price and buyer's location at auction end.  Assume a 7 lbs. 9 oz. box to calculate shipping to your destination.  International buyers should research their country's customs and tax requirements before placing a bid since buyer must be responsible for these costs.  Full value will be declared during shipping for insurance purposes.  I will not falsify information on customs forms -- please don't ask.
