If it provides a range you need and you like the results then you got a good deal. What you pay for with a 70-200/2.8 is sharpness wide open and it's hard to judge this from web-sized shots.

Anyway, not trying to rain on your parade. The Sigma 70-200 is generally regarded as a high quality lens and a good bargain compared to the Nikon and Canon alternatives. Looking at recently completed sales on Ebay it appears that $500-$600 is the going rate for one of these in a Nikon mount, and you're right in that range.

Enjoy it.
