Hi all
Great forum I have lurked on for some time. Only recently joined.
I bought a graded Nikon D40 from the above site. The first one I got was immaculate and as new. But I discovered it had no serial number on the bottom. I contacted Nikon Uk and they advised me to send it back. I must admit the company were excellent about this and arranged for this one to be picked up and a replacement sent out.
Today that one arrived. But on close examination I noted that it had the previous owners name marked with a security pen on the side. So it is not "As new". In fairness it can only be seen in a certain light - but I know its there!!
The website states:
What is 'Graded' - Items that are classed as 'graded' are products which have been returned by retailers to the manufacturer as unsold stock. Despite being sold at much lower price, these products can be considered to be as new as they have been thoroughly checked and tested by the manufacturer to ensure that they are of the same quality as a new item.
As explained it is certainly not as new. I have checked the actuations and it has 1361.
Any advice please? Or thoughts?
