[OM] First piece of junk from *Bay

Well, in marked contrast to the BEAUTIFUL lens I just received from Skip, I 
also received today a DOG (no chocolate lab, either, dammit) from 
guess*which*auction*site: a 50mm/1.4 with obvious and multiple scratches all 
over the front element, and what looks to be small specs of fungus (or very 
evenly distributed same-sized dust particles) inside.   This lens was 
described in the ad as "easily Ex++" and with "No marks on the glass".  Well, 
that description was about as dishonest as I could imagine for THIS 
particular lens.  I would call this a $20 BARGAIN level lens, at best, for 
which I bid $71.00.  I've just e-mailed the seller my desire to return it for 
a full refund.  My first real disappointment in about 30 deals on that big 
site.  I MIGHT consider keeping it IF he offers to send $50 of my $71 back... 
 But considering the deception, I really don't feel like accepting anything 
less than ALL of it back.  I'll let ya know.
