Got a bad one myself, recently. Thought I was getting a nice silvernose
75-150, described as "like new". Diaphragm didn't work at all. Hazy internal
elements. Dented lens hood. The seller promptly and politely refunded all my
money, including shipping!

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.
