Don't interpret a single auction price as an indication of quality. The
sample set isn't high enough. The guy buying the ATX probably got lucky
that day.
OTOH, you can make an argument that the Tamron should bring more money since
the Adaptall mount brings in a much wider group of buyers. The sales
potential of an ATX in a less-common mount is dependent on who sees the
auction and "needs" one.

They can't possibly be as good, because about 2 months after I got my SP
80-200/2.8 the Tokina equivalent went for noticeably less on eBay.
