I sold a 50L on the boards around Jan 10th and just last week the buyer wrote me saying the mf is acting weird. I had never had a problem with the lens before I sold it or I would of had CPS fix. I would never sell a damaged lens!
So after almost 4 months in his possession he\'s saying Canon states theres a damaged manual focus mechanism and it\'s going to cost over $300 to fix.
I\'m sorry but I am not willing to cover the costs of repairs after this long in his possession. It\'s a used lens and it\'s the chances we take when we buy used equipment.
Am I right?
Yeah you are right. If it works upon receipt and doesn\'t go bad in a couple days well that is what happens. Sometimes lenses break and if you buy used there is no warranty. It\'s the gamble for used, much lower price, but no guarantee it works for at least 12 months. 3-4 months later is crazy. It\'s not like you are store just an individual owner and if we all had to expect to take back stuff for whatever reason months later I don\'t think any of us would sell to anything but camera stores.
