I have a barely-used like-new AF Micro Nikkor 70-180mm/4.5-5.6, with lens caps and original box. I purchased it from a woman who bought it for a company project that never materialized. It sat unused until I picked it up late last year. I have used it maybe five times since getting it, mostly for product pictures. It's a wonderful, legendary, and unique lens. However, I find I just don't use it enough to justify keeping it.

So I'd like to trade it for a high quality telephoto lens for wildlife and the occasional sporting event. I'm thinking AF 300/2.8, AI 400/3.5, or maybe AI 500/4 P. Nikkor is preferred, though I'll consider 3rd party lenses. This is for use on a D200, BTW, so although I list two manual-focus lenses above, AF is actually preferable. Signs of wear on the lens body are OK, but the optics and functionality must be excellent. Cash can be part of the trade if the lens values don't quite match.
