May you be commended in an attempt to increase
accuracy. But what I do is ask 3 questions:
1. Is there any mechanical problem with the lens?
2. Are there any optical blemishes or problems?
3. Are there any cosmetic defects in the item?
If they don't respond, then they are basically crossed
off the list of items to bid on.
If they indirectly respond, you have to figure out if
they are being dishonest or just bozos who can't frame
a cogent reply.
If they reply in a detailed and straightforward
manner, then I feel pretty secure about the dealings.
