Seller: ajkessler
Item: Olympus E100RS
Comment: There is a twist to this one. The camera never arrived, seller could not find the tracking info, so he gave me a full refund. You cannot ask for anything better than that. We gave it over 2 weeks to show up somewhere and it didn't.
Item 28-70mm L Lens
Seller: Photocols (Tom Howard)
I received the lens with a bent filter ring and could not mount a filter. I was told it was not shipped this way but original pics in the ad shows it was (I as well as two other FM members I consulted with noticed it in the original pics). After some back and forth, I sent the lens back for a swap but after Tom received it, he accused me of taking a tool to the filter ring. Along with the unnoticed bent filter ring there was also minor paint loss (on the filter ring). Tom's powers of observation seemed to have improved considerably when faced with standing behind the item he sold where things were not described in the original ad were now being noticed. Funny because the lens case listed in the ad did not ship with the lens. Perhaps he did not notice he did not pack that either. Here is a link to the ad. Notice the slight bend right above the Canon logo on top (you have to look carefully). Also notice the paint on the ring is not pristine - and lastly, the case pictured that is very noticeable. https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic2/405520/0#3475091
With the newly found defects I was offered two choices by Tom: a refund of $180 less than what I paid him or take the lens back so rather that throw $180 in the trash I took the lens back. The lens was returned "repaired" where the filter can be mounted with some force and fiddling.

Joe sold me an EOS 3 body it seems to be in the condition he told me it was in.He also sent it to me the next day like he told me he would. Joe is a very good guy to do business with.
