Money refund
Recently, I have ordered a used Pentax SMC F (not FA) 50/1.7 for US$75 because the seller said it is in like new condition. But when I received and inspected it, I found there are some minor scratches on the rear lens surface. After I 'reported' the real condition of lens to the seller, he said I could return the lens for money refund or I could keep it if I accept his partial refund (only $10). This is my first time to buy used lens. Please give me any suggestion. Frankie - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: Money refund
If you knew about the scratches before buying you probably wouldn't have bought it. The scratches would bother me every time I used it (although some of my equipment is not pristene). Send it back. You will never be able to sell it in good conscience without disclosing the scratches and then most won't buy it unless you give it away. Just send it back and find another one. I recently sold an F50/1.7 in near new condition for $95. Pay another $20 and find one you will be happy with. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2001 1:16 AM Subject: Money refund Recently, I have ordered a used Pentax SMC F (not FA) 50/1.7 for US$75 because the seller said it is in like new condition.

Any time you return an item you lose out on shipping both ways, unless the seller grossly misrepresents an item and agrees to pay return shipping. Take some test shots with the lens and see what you think. If you decide that you really need a mint one, then consider accepting his offer, selling the lens on eBay, and looking around for one in mint condition. chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

If you do decide to send it back, try to get the seller to pay for shipping at least one way (and preferably both), since they misrepresented the item. You ideally shouldn't have to pay for their ignorance, though you probably will. chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Any damage is unnacceptable in a like new product. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
