I just received a new toy - a Sigma 3.5-5.6/18-50mm DC.
For 36 USD at a local internet auction, I believe it's a bargain.

Look at some of the auctions that have gotten high bids and use them as a guideline. Make
sure you are conservative on your descriptions. Show lots of "good" photos of
the item.
Interestingly enough your local public library probably has a book or two on
the subject.
