p.1 #1 · Sold: W'drawn/AF 180 f2.8D ED-IF


US4155xx AF 180 f2.8D ED (the newest version)
more 'monkeyglass onna block. Pristine optics, barrel 9.5/10 very minor rubs.
These are quite sharp w/ gorgeous bokeh...my 3rd copy. 70-200 f2.8 VR
kinda bumped this out of the bag. Your gain, just $499 plus actual shipping.
Has built in hood, so just caps and nice 3rd party case included. CONUS offering
and I'll accept Google Checkout/M.O. or personal check from well established member. Thx.
(Being one of the top 4 buyers/sellers on this board I don't jump thru hoops. No eBay listings,
no lowballs, always a fair price and a great proven product I stand behind 100%)
Some samples from this morning....I should be charging more
note: Nikon rear cap, generic front but I'll throw in a 72mm Skylight as comp. withdrawn we'll let this mess fade to black.

Don't feel alone, I'm suffering from a temporary state of monetary dereliction or I'd be all over this. Will, I think we've had about 7 of these between us, and I never should have sold my last one.

This is there perfect lens on a D3/D700.

Trenchmonkey, I don't see how simply asking if you'd list it on eBay when I cover all your fees is making you jump through hoops? It also would have been nice of you to step off your pedestal and take 5 seconds of your time to simply inform me that you were not interested in listing on eBay instead of just flat out ignoring me.

Sorry, David. This is listed fairly clearly in the 1st paragraph before the barrage of emails, I thought
you moved on when I told you I'm pretty much done with PayPal. There's no pedestal, just an
aversion to folks wanting to play the "hey, if you can just list it on eBay" game. I'd rather not cheapen
the buying and selling experience I've enjoyed here for 4 years...maybe that's just me.
***FYI I replied to your WTB thread at 9:25 this morning...echoing these sentiments.***

You never told me you were done with PayPal. You only edited this information in later on. You can't expect me to know you've edited a post I've already read. The last email I received simply said you did not have box or papers, and you stopped communicating from that point on.

I also don't see how you're cheapening the buying and selling experience here on FredMiranda when you're simply using eBay as a medium.

Anyways, you obviously have your reasons and I respect them. My issue was just the fact it would have been nice to simply receive a response saying you're not interested instead of just leaving me hanging.

PS. Don't say you replied to my WTB thread when you simply edited your reply two hours after I had already responded to your reply. How do you expect me to get your response?

Dear pixelcharm, aka David
You really should reply on this forum by e-mail or PM. You are dealing with one of our ( FM's) longest established and well respected members. Will is beyond reproach ! So much of our community trust in members such as "Will"
By the way, please take a moment to check Will's feedback on not only E-Bay, but the Nikon Cafe , and the Nikonian's.
You don't demand respect, you always earn it . Will has not only accomplished this, but has always been fair to all concerned.
If you really don't want to purchase the item on Will's terms. You should probably just move on.
David , welcome to the FM forums .

I was going to write something, but he covered it all. I have never personally bought any 'monkey-related items but just by reputation I know him to be a standup fellow.

Sorry to chime in too, but Will is about as good as it gets when it comes to dealing online. Just wanted to add my supportive voice here. Welcome to FM, "pixelcharm." I hope you come to trust the trustworthy here and have good times ahead.

To everyone: I'm sorry to drag you all into this. It was not my intention. I was just a bit frustrated at Will going cold turkey on me without saying anything. I was keeping it to email until it was obvious he was ignoring me!
Anyways once again, sorry to drag you fellas into this.

To Spydweb: Please do tell me what part of my actions insinuate an uninformed newbie? Or if you like... PM me.


EDIT: Out of respect to the rest of the community I will no longer be replying in this thread and I'm hoping the rest of you do the same If any of you guys have any issues please take them up with me via PM. David.

Thanks for all the bumps AND support friends. I have a time stamped email from 7:57 am stating we would NOT
be doing business this time around....and thanked him anyway. I can't believe the crap generated...and it's only his 2nd day.
Enough! Let's all have a beer and toast the current state of digital photography. Item withdrawn and kindly respect my wishes that the posting stops here.
