Woe is me ... my Nikon 70-200 has been giving me grief, the focus sytem has started to tell me: no lens attached. So I sent it in to Nikon. Here is the estimate:

Install new circuit system for the lens, clean and adjust: 479.00
Parts (including the VR system): 177.00
Shipping back: 30.00

Of course, all has to be taxed yet. So I am looking @ 768 dollars to get this lens fixed. I can buy a new SIGMA lens 70-200 without the OS for 714.00. This makes me wonder .... what would YOU do?
