This lens is as new. It is in mint condition.

Was purchased on December 12, 2008. That makes it little more than a month old.

Has seen very little use.

Here's a product description:

Equivalent to a 28-135mm lens, this new EF-S lens brings true wide-angle to tele coverage to Canon's digital SLR range. It has Canon's Image Stabilization system, allowing safe hand-holding at speeds up to three stops slower than otherwise possible. And of course, it's optically optimized for digital SLRs. A ring-type USM means both fast and silent AF, as well as full-time manual focus when in the AF mode.

These sell for around $800 new.

I'll part with it for $600. The price includes a HOYA HMC (UV) filter which sells for upwards of $45.

Buyer pays postage.

OK...

I'll take another $50 off the price.

This lens and filter now $550 (plus postage)...and it's in absolutely pristine condition.

This represents a saving of $300 on new...for an item only a month old and barely used.

This 17-85 in not to be confused with the old 17-85. This one is an improvement on the old one.
