I sold my lens and I thought we both did acceptably well out of the deal. Then, the day after I posted it Special (actually, Anna posted it, if I am perfectly honest about it) I got a message to say he wanted to cancel because it hadn't arrived yet...for heavens sake, I know the post office are good, but less than 24 hours from the finish of the sale and he expected it delivered? I think that was a bit rich.
The lens arrived the following day, so I got another message to say he was happy with the lens and would keep it. Hooray.
That euphoria didn't last for long - the next day I another message to say that he wanted to return it because the autofocus didn't work. I only ever used it in manual mode, so it was switched to manual only. Guess what, when he switched it to Auto/manual it worked perfectly. Finally I got a message to say he was happy with it and was going to keep it - FOUR messages later it was mind.
I can do without that kind of stress at my age! I suppose it is just a sign of the times and peoples' expectations, always expecting other people to be dishonest. This world is becoming paranoid. Why can't people just be honourable and honest anymore? I don't like the way world is going.
