So I was at an auction this morning and I bid a couple of thousand on a lens. Could anyone with real camera skills give me a rough estimate on what they think I can sell it for

Do you think I could resell it for R4000?

There are no scratches on any on the lens and the gears work perfect. It a lense from a deceased estate auction.

What mount is the lens (NB there's one e in lens :P)? Canon, Nikon?

Also it's kind of hard to read - is it the Sigma 170-500?

EDIT - I see someone is trying to sell a Pentax mount 170-500 APO on ODP for R2300.
 
Nikon mount.

No idea what the lens is worth though.
 
Im listing this on classified pages, what to I list it as, "wide angle" "zoom" ? I have absolutely no camera knowledge.
 
Telephoto zoom.

Did you look through the lens and check for dust and mould?
 
I would say it's worth around R3000, but you'd need to be sure that there's nothing wrong with it, and that there are no particles (dust or grit) inside.

List with photos as: "SIGMA 170-500 Telephoto zoom Nikon Fit"
