You can give this program a try:

 I am still in the process of reworking my adjustments but so far is seems spot on with my findings. And all it takes is a press of a button basically.

I see the MkI listed for $1350-1375 on FM, although you never know the actual selling price.  I usually pay less for items I buy on CL than the going rate on FM.  I'd be tempted to offer $1200-1250...

Sounds like the best plan. Go in with a reasonably low offer and see if they come back with a counter offer and see what happens.

When I got my 70-200mm f2.8L via a seller on Craigslist (whom I met face-to-face with) he was asking 120'000 yen and it had been barely used, but was about 2 years old. I went in with a way low offer of 75'000 yen and he took it straight away as he just wanted to get rid of it (I had thought I would have went higher) so I got lucky.  ;D

Other times I went in with lower offers and lost out...  ???
