New update. Nikon just called me and I talked with Mr. Wong. He just gave an information that this lens already sent to them TWICE inclusive mine. The previous owner also quoted the same amount of RM1.2K+ by Nikon service centre. Same with my case here. Already missing 2 screws. The previous owned refused to repair the lens. That explains why he sold the lens. Mr. Wong said he cannot give the previous owner's name since it's P&C. He advised me to make a police report to get that information. I will make a police report and get his info. This case just got interesting.

Yeah...very embarrassing...

so with evidence in hand.

Silverfire should be strip of "safetrader" as he knowingly buy from his friend and resell as a "Trader" (claim not selling on behalf of friend).

too much detective imagination!!

Please do refund ASAP...

I did not see that he have the full responsibility to follow up EVERYTHING.

Yes, to an extent of explanation etc, but there would be a limit for the responsibility part. Any excess is up to the seller to provide.

Now, since it is proven that the screws are missing, i just wonder if there is a proper reason to actually refund in full or not.

The point is, it is never being covered by personal warranty at all. Even if it is covered, it won't be that long. It is between Nikon and buyer as stated in the thread.

Imagine if seller sell something to one fellow with 3 days personal warranty, should the seller be responsible for something that is proven due to seller's fault after 1 month??

Imagine if a manufacturer have build something that have 1 year warranty,but the nature of the item like tendency to overheating that lead to auto shut down and eventually timed out after operate about 1.5 years due to the manufacturing design.  Can they be held liable?

Where is the exact ground of asking for refund in the first place? It is a faulty item as proven by now, but even new items have a time limit on such a claims.

If like this, after settling this issue (assume settle), then "new" fault comes out again, can seller be held liable like this FOREVER??? Like this, all 2nd hand seller can BANKRUPT or out of business!!!

Not sure how both party solve this but Quantum just came up with a solution I guess.
If Silverfire did state then he should have refund in that time period I guess no seller will tell you PW for months...

REALLY GOOD LUCK IZWAN SETTLING THIS. My sympathy goes to you.

Yeah,
fail to notice that the warranty stated in your Sales Thread is VIOD to begin with.

THis type pf attitude means YOU intend to cheat in the 1st place.

Apis_LuaLua...Please take notice of this.
This Seller is just too much.

Then he should simply make a report, and when it comes back with nothing, I demand a public apology from Izwan. Along with that apology he will have to go back to tell police to tell them his mistake else I would report him for defamation and attempt of fraud.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Previous report clearly states warranty is still applicable, and all the sudden when you submit its void due to impact damage? Oh please.

Nose like pig nose..no wonder behave like pig...
