in all seriousness dude you need to think about speaking to someone about your paranoia
Blimey...get a grip!
How much history / 'previous' does @daugirdas have with some people on here to be treated like this? I take it a lot as to the casual observer it seems grossly unfair and if anyone is new to TP looking on it doesn't cast many people in a good light imvho.
To be fair, I'd be rather annoyed if I thought I was buying a new lens, was told it was a new lens and then it wasnt, especially if I forked out £800.

I get the OP didn't exactly help himself with the "In short they totally and knowingly f***ed me." line but the way some posts came across seemed unduly harsh to say the least. Certainly if the OP would of been a new member i would of expected some people to put them right reference the "knowingly" stance but it seemed way ott hence my curiosity about any 'history'.to be honest its not so much a matter of previous as of loss of proportion
yes calumet havent shown him particularly good customer service, but they are generally a company with a good rep , and it was clearly an out of character mistake which they have rectified by making a full refund .
So he lost sympathy when he started ranting about how they were out to 'f*** him' deliberately (potentially libellous though i doubt Calumet are likely to sue in the circumstances) , then lost more sympathy when he decided that people here (including a moderator) were responding to his loss of proportion because they 'all hate him'
then he changed the thread title to TP attack me again thus losing even more sympathy ... when in all honesty he's brought it on himself by behaving like a bit of a tool over what was clearly a minor mistake
the old adage 'when in hole, stop digging' applies here
(I was serious, not taking the pee when i suggested he might want to speak to someone about his loss of proportion and belief that the world is out to get him)

As for Calumet, i'd of been royally p***ed off as well. If being sold something new i'd expect a factory sealed box (with some exceptions) and if it wasn't would reasonably expect the sales person to inspect it before handing it over to confirm all in order. Especially given they (all at the OP's say so) were aware they were reboxing ex-demo stock. Yes in all fairness it could of been avoided if after / during the sale he'd personally inspected it but i'd still be pointing the finger 99.9% towards Calumet at fault. A full refund is the very least he could of expected and nothing after that again is poor considering the hassle involved to the OP.
