Millennium Nikkor Prices

[NIKON KIU]

I am opening this thread to track the price of the 50mm Nikkor that was re-issued in year 2000, all were mounted on Nikon S3 re-issue cameras but now after 15 years, they can be had on used market by themselves, fairly often it seems.
I like to affectionately call them Millennium Nikkor because it sounds nice and I am Nikon Kiu!

So, I am asking for co-operation, it'll be nice if someone can track the Japanese Market while I keep an eye on the US market, European members can also keep us informed and so on.

I'll start the first ebay listing from California, Please note I am not connected to any of the listings I post unless I make a statement about it, This thread is posted mainly to track prices.

OK, enough of that, lets start with the first unit.

This is unit number 208859 probably from a late model re-issue or a black example:

Starting bids is $599 with a single bid registered.

I will update when the listing ends.

The prices have come down a lot the last year or two. I got mine at a "steal" a couple years ago for $900, including an Amedeo adapter.
