did you drop it? why the repair report said impact dmg? replacing len's? show us the picture condition before you send for repair and yet to see you show the picture of the missing screw position.

only nikonian knew how nikon service center. doubt nikon service center try to con 1.2k service repair bills. Those are the profesional in the center.

guess mod have to start review back Silverfire selling history habit's.

Nikon center already gave the service report.

to me both also have fault on their side

Seller- male in camera yet doesn't inspect the item and didn't explain item in detail condition

Buyer- male in camera yet doesn't inspect the item upon receive. Only notice demo in the receipt.

Both are so fail in buying/selling used or demo item in photography gadget.

there is always a risk to buy used/demo item. dont depend so much on warranty. User must check the condition upon received. You think by having warranty give you peace of mind? you wont know whether the failure is valid or non -valid for warranty claim so put in your mind that buying used item with warranty is a bonus package not peace of mind as we dont know the 1st user how he use the lens.

Example: might be dropped but still usable so went to sell it. buyer bought it after 1 month spoil and claim warranty but rejected by center due to found internal impact damage.
