I might agree with that, except that the description on their web site is of the new lens and the accessories that come with it (the hood and lens caps). This description includes a link that says, "Buy it used for $X" - you click that link and are given the used rating (9+, in this case) and the price, but no other qualifications to the description of the new lens.
In my opinion, that means they include the hood and lens caps unless they specifically tell me otherwise in advance of the purchase. They may see it differently. We'll see, I guess.
