If you're going to buy from CashConverters, Cash Generator or CEX then be prepared to return the item(s). When they buy in/trade in items they don't have the same skills as most Camera shop workers and so are much more likely to miss defects (fungus, not working as should, etc.) - the problem will go un-noticed until purchased by someone

I know - it happened to me on two of the three occasions that I bought from them - additionally, one of the items I bought had a major issue that I took the trouble to document on the returns note, a couple of days later the same make and model of lens appeared at a different branch - I can only assume it sold and was returned again several times as it kept re-appearing

What's that phrase....
