Like my late-model 250mm Telyt, definitely in "user" condition - I contacted the seller after the end of the auction when he had received no bids, and he sold it to me for his minimum, $400.  It has multiple nicks and dings, and even a faint scratch in the coating of the front element; its perfomance is solid and the chromes are beautiful.  You won't catch me over-bidding on mint equipment.
