Jul 22, 2017 17:25 | #1 Seller claimed this "Excellent, like new condition with no scuffs or scratches." Looks like it was dropped or hit a cement wall to me. He had the ball to say that I tried to cheat him  Image hosted by forum (866634) © Buckeye1 [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.

If/when I sell something as pristine, you don't see dust in the photos. Anyway, I agree with the 'dropped' damage. Ebay/PP will surely refund your money, regardless of the seller's opinion.

Shows moderate wear for the age of the item, with the possibility of small dings or blemishes. Glass may have slight blemishes but will not affect picture quality. eBay specifically defines "Mint" as An object described as in "MINT CONDITION" means, literally, that the item looks as if it just came off the assembly line in the factory; that there is not a single defect of any kind in the product. It is in the BEST possible condition a product can possibly be in. It is obvious that Mint does not apply.

carpenter Goldmember More info Post edited over 6 years ago by carpenter. (2 edits in all) | Jul 23, 2017 00:09 | #7 I feel your pain. Just bought a 17-40 from a seller on FM that was supposed to be working great. Got the lens and found the AF to barely work. Sometimes it just clicks to try to find focus, sometimes it does nothing. Sometimes it works. Same result on 3 different camera bodies. Selller claimed it was fine when it left and said that he wouldn't refund. Once it's shipped he claimed it's on the buyer.. Lol. Offered to pay $50 as good will towards the cost of fixing it "if indeed it had a problem". Umm no. Obviously unaware of how paypal works. Had to file a claim. 5D Mk IV | 24-105L | 85 1.8 | 70-200L 2.8 IS MkII | 100-400L MkII

I'm surprised at the condition of the lens box (not the shipping packaging). When I unpack a new lens, the box is stored away, not any place special, but the boxes remain in pristine condition. That box looks like it was his method of transport while using the lens.

My thoughts exactly. That was the first thing I noticed. That box has seen some miles. Remember what the DorMouse said.....feed your head.

He only sent the images that made the lens looked great. He had the hood on, so you couldn't tell the hidden damage. The lens box was not my concern, how he packed it worried me more...especially when he said what he said without knowing how I pack my gears
