I have one of these so a little heads up what to watch out for apart from the usual lens issue such as dust inside-scratches on the lens- fungus etc etc. This particular lens is known in some instances when the barrel is fully extended is a bit loose. Mine is at the moment at Camserve in East Sussex who I have used before. the problem is at the opposite end to the camera. The screws that hold the barrel in place can be loose and to get to them you have to start and the camera end.
with the tools not impossible to fix but not something i would attempt.
The video below shows what is involved with just the 24-70mm lens, more involved with the 80-400 lens

Loose one of those tiny screws and your in trouble, that is why I have taken mine to that company. Maybe why there as several for sale on that internet selling site
