This is not a prime lens (high end glass), and the only reason to purchase it at a "great price", would be if you are ok with throwing it in the garbage if it doesn't perform properly. As a serious amateur photographer, a lens that is dented, has a very high chance of being damage goods; and as such, I want no part of it.
Unless you are able to try it and verify its performance for your intended purpose, this proposition would be a hard: no thanks for me.
