Nikon 13mm f/5.6 AI-S "Holy Grail". Did I get a good deal?

You going to hang to it for a while, or sell it soon??
I'm thinking I will sell it on eBay, but I'm not 100% sure yet. If I do, I'll put a link to the sale in the for sale section here as an "off site auction" post, then update this thread with my decision. The last one of these to sell in this condition was an "A-/like new" sample with pristine original box, and it sold for over $50K at the current exchange rate. I have the original "refurbished box" – not as good, but unlike the other one, this one's never been used or mounted on a camera, and has been certified by Nikon to be in as-new condition. I would probably set the "Buy it Now" price close to $50K, then also have the "or best offer" activated. It will also depend on what I learn is the history of the lens. Also, if B&H expects to get more of these, I may wait for them all to "disappear"

The lens is a thing of beauty. Wow! If and when you sell it I hope you get what the lens is worth and can use the money to buy something(s) that you can use. I love a bargain. Thanks for the great pics. Seeing it was half the fun for us.
Thanks, I'm pretty exited to have even seen one in person, held it, and technically owned it for however short a time
