Got one in march from adorama for $800. They had it for $1000 with a $200 rebate. It's a really nice lens. Really enjoy using it although I haven't used it as much as my telephoto lenses yet as my local pond is more suited to wildlife shooting than landscape. I have used it for some random pictures of people though and the pictures came out very nice.

It looks like you have to bundle it with a camera body to get it at that price point.

I was predicting $700 for this lens by Christmas. Few seem to want the lens. I was considering buying it for product photography due to its close focusing capabilities, but after reading the reviews, I decided to skip it.

It certainly is at such a great price point right now. I'd probably take it over a 24-105L but would stretch a bit further and take the Tamron 24-70 over both.
In fact, I already have the Tamron 24-70, and would choose it again if the decision came back up.
For the type not interested in 3rd party glass though and unable to afford the f/2.8, this is a great deal.

I got my CPW notification of the refurb price at $750 and I bought it, before I even realized that the price drop was in effect. I'm sure the refurbs will go lower eventually, on a 20% sale or something, but I don't want to wait. Everybody expected Canon to drop the price of this lens eventually. If they'd released it as a 6D kit lens in the US, the used prices would have been here already, although they're close now.
I just want to put my 28-105 back on my old film camera, and get my small-light standard zoom spot filled. The 24-105 IS STM rumor sounds interesting, but I'm tired of waiting. I expect I'd be able to sell the 24-70 for basically my purchase price in a year if need be.
