Let me tell you the "funny" story about this one : it was listed on ebay in March 2014 by the former french owner (located in Nice, south of France) who purchased it used in London a couple of years ago. He wanted 30,000.00 Euros for it (ca. USD 40,000.00).
I was in discussion with him to buy it at that price but finally hesitated considering that spending such an amount of money in a photo gear was not the priority at the moment even though we are talking about a Fisheye-Nikkor 6mm f/2.8 Ai-S in mint condition!
I knew Village Goodies was also in discussion with the owner. Finally, as I left it, they purchased it. The guy even did the trip from the US to France to pick it up.
So, yes, Village Goodies purchased ca. USD 40,000.00 and look at the price they are listing it now...
