Well, firstly this is a very rare lens, you only see see 2 - 3 lenses a year being for sale. Secondly, this seller has no feedbacks and has just recently joined eBay. Being a new seller with no feedback will mean that many poential buyers will not bid, and the seller risks losing thousands. People give away large amounts of money for free only in rare circumstances.

If I had a very valuable item for sale (and this is an extremely sought after and easy lens to sell) and had no eBay record, I would certainly sell it through a friend or something with a sound feedback record or maybe just sell it to a shop.

Putting yourself in the shoes of an honest seller, and using the reasonable assumption that he is sound in body and mind, will tell you that this offer is too good to be true.
