Depends. Older, breechlock mount or the newer bayonet style? Canon also made two versions of the 200/2.8. One had internal focusing, the other (older) version used a traditional helical.
Still, if it's in good shape, $150.00 USD isn't bad.

If we are talking about this guy:
It's a good price for it. Fast long lenses are useful for getting subject separation.

Any FD 200 is a great lens. I had the latest 200/2.8 version with internal focus, it had amazing bokeh and it was sharp. The earlier unit-focusing 200/2.8 is supposed to be as sharp or sharper (!!)
Now I own the 200/4.0 with internal focus, which is compact and sharp. I also own the Nikon AI 200/4.0 and is slightly bigger than the Canon and does not have internal focus so focus is a bit more stiff. Perfectly sharp and with good bokeh.
I also have the FL 200/3.5 lens and it's much heavier. Haven't tested it optically so far.
