Now we have to see this case as 2 different scenarios.
It's not complicated and I think everyone is missing out, because you just assume that the warranty is void.
If Silverfire sell the lens, whether he is aware or not about the warranty status, which already voided before the Money transactions happens between him and Izwan, then I believe Izwan deserve a FULL refund from seller. This matter because Silverfire should've check the warranty status with Nikon before selling them off from his possession.
But if Silverfire sell the lens and the warranty is still valid, the problem starts here. I'm not trying to suspect Izwan, but this is his part of fault also, not checking the warranty status and also the gap time when he file the complain. The refund should be looks more like partial.
Ya I know nobody would bother to check up on the warranty at all.
Just trying to clarify here, before someone would claim the warranty is void after 1 time warranty claim.
Still no fact or statement about when the warranty is being void btw.
No, its not complicated, but u make it seems to be.
Just forget abt the warranty status for a moment. The lens already have "IMPACT DAMAGE" n quoted RM1202 for repair b4 the money transaction happen. I believe this fact alone make Izwan deserve a FULL refund.
The warranty void or not is the question after the repair. Since the repair cost is high, its only make sense for full refund instead of repair.
