I'd love to have a 180mm, you mind me asking what you paid for it?

I picked the 180 2.8 and the 300 4.5 on trade against my Tokina 28-80 2.8. I think I definitely hot the better deal since my tokina shot ridiculously soft wide open. But the guy didn't care, he just wanted to get rid of them. I priced it out in eBay, the 180mm ed ais 2.8 sells for $400-600and KEH shows trade in value at $285. So average prices seem about right. The Nikon ais 105mm f2.5 (picked this one up last week) is an outstanding lens and you can find them for right around $150-200.
