Default $120,000 for a used lens?

I'd have to sell my house to get this lens hehe.

Used Canon | Super Telephoto 1200mm f/5.6L EF USM | 2527A001

Funny, the wife and I just saw this lens a couple of days ago and found a video of it in action. Very impressive, btw. Here's the link.

After reading the detail it doesn' t float my boat. I'd rather buy a cheaper lens and get closer to the action.

I guess if its good enough for NatGeo, it would be good enough for me. Now if I only had $120,000.
