[QUOTE="Somersetscott, post: 150222, member: 10691"] I Bought my Tokina 11-16mm at the £350 mark, I checked feedback (trawled through to see if similar products have been sold and the exact feedback written) and analysed the auction post thoroughly (sounds a bit snobby but I also check for how it is written, you can tell if a teenager with a photography fad and a lens their parents bought them that has had a beating has written it or a conciencious fellow enthusiast is selling). Completely happy! Lens is exactly described! Also, if the auction post is lacking exact information do make use of the questions to the seller section. If they don't repsond, are blah-zey or just dodge the question altogether I would leave it. And also an element of luck, it may be fantastic and they package it badly or any variable like that. Risk asessment can help, but its up to you :) Ps, One of my colleagues is in a right pickle at the moment, she bought a horse box (vehicle) described as for two horses, looks phenominal! was average price etc etc. went to get an MOT they happened to find some unusual things and tested the curb weight - turned out to be just and just under it's limit and illegal if a driver was in it! She tried to return within 10days - no luck. 6 months on and her court case is the end of this month. Personally I think shes got the power as the listing and documentation she has clearly shows shes bought a mis-advertised vehicle and the evasive crooks that sold it blaitently knew! But don't let that worry you, there is bad stories about everything. [/QUOTE]
