Is the fujifilm xf 500mm f 5 6 r lm ois wr worth buying used?

I think it's worth a look used. Cameras and lenses are built to last, and buying used is one of the best ways to afford good gear, as I explain in buying used. This is a fairly light super-telephoto prime, about 750mm equivalent on APS-C, with stabilisation and autofocus. It suits wildlife and sports shooters who want that reach without a huge lens.

It fits a long list of Fujifilm X bodies. If you're pairing it with a body that has more speed and handling, the Fujifilm X-H2S and Fujifilm X-T5 are both on the list.

Whatever you buy, budget for a new genuine battery with any used body, since old batteries lose capacity. For the full list of compatible cameras, see the Fujifilm XF 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR page.
