Just bought a lens from a CSer with a considerable posting almost has 2,000 posts. He sells his lens rated as mint but has specks of dust in the lens.
When I request to return the lens since it was just a little over an hour ago and I cited that mint condition was not suppose to have specks of dust in lens, he blew his top and said I accused him of lying.. which I did not want to make a big deal out of it and he offered me $20 to get the lens cleaned. His excuse is I've tested the lens and that's that.
But before buying I stated I am a newbie and only took shot with the lens to check colour and confirms whether it works with my cameras.
Anyhow, this is a bad experience buying from CSer, I am sure there not many people like that here. Nevertheless, I think newbie are exposed to this kind of cases.
Just my 2 cents. One bad experience that I wished not to happen to others.
