I think its abit irresponsible for the seller to wash his hand off just because he is selling something on behalf of his friend. You should have inspected the item condition before agreeing to sell it for your friend.

And, you mention the lens has warranty by nikon. Now, Nikon refuse to honor the warranty so you have to settle this dispute. Unless it was agreed that TS is buying an item without any warranty, then you can ignore his request for refund.

Seriously, TS should check the item thoroughly and not only after 1 month you report the two missing screw. All in all, both party are at fault here

We would wait for Nikon to release the information of the person that brought the lens for repair the first time. That would end this debate once and for all.

If TS can indeed prove this lens was sent for repair before it is sold to him, then the burden of proof lies on the seller eventhough its past 1 month since he mention that Nikon warranty is still valid. I hope silverfire can settle it amicably with his friend if that is the case.

Please make sure you post a copy of the invoice receipt together with serial identification number so we know you are not posting another person's invoice receipt.
