Blimey! That *really* is a good price. I've been considering that lens (in my dreams). To go with the D2X (in my dreams).

Lets see the results!

Was it from "urphoto" by any chance?

I ordered my P-2000 from them, my first ebay Hong Kong purchase. Arrived in 2 days by FedEx and no customs - they marked it "samples for testing"

Would recommend looking at them if you are looking for kit - great guys.

It was from urgalaxy and was also marked that it was a used sample for testing. It is however brand new.

Don't hold your breath - FedEx customs bills hit you in the post after you've actually received the shipment.

But chances are you got away with it though.
