Hi,
Please read all before bidding! My description will answer most of your questions if you just take the time to read it. If you are an experienced eBayer with no baggage :), feel free to go to the description!!! I like to write long ads as I tell stories!!!
My ID# R18200
As promised, I am back with a couple of lenses including this beautiful Nikon!!!
Let me start out about me and what I have to offer. I have been on eBay longer than I can remember. I have bought and sold items. I am a camera enthusiast and deal mostly in Nikon items. As promised in my last two camera ads, I am now going to list a whole bunch of newly acquired Nikon lenses over the next week or so. I will have something for everyone. I have sold over 60 lenses in the last few month or so with no problems at all!!! None-Everyone was happy!!! You can't find that so easily on eBay.
All of the lenses I will put up came from a professional camera studio. All were professionally stored and not abused. I have been buying all of my cameras and lenses from them for years. The manager is my friend and he gets me only the lenses that would pass their inspection. I have never received one lens or camera that has failed on me. I have also never receive done camera or lens back due to a malfunction. I offer a 30 day guarantee on each item I sell unless noted. Obviously it cannot be dropped in a triathlon!! All of the lenses I sell go through a thorough professional cleaning. It's a 6 step process that now includes lens polishing!
NEW EBAYERS-Under 10 ratings-you must read my simple rules below under NEW EBAYERS before you bid. Yes, I have listed many ads with New Ebayer rules and yet, go figure, I still have some that just want to cause trouble because they are experts!!!Read my rules and everything will go easy peasy!!!
DESCRIPTION
Meet this lens!!!
I have one very nice Nikon 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 GII ED VR DX Zoom Lens up for grabs. Now, if you are confused about what version this particular lens is, it's the newest one out and also seen advertised as the VRII. It doesn't say VRII but the give away is the GII. This lens retails for about $647.00. I tested this lens on a Nikon D7200. It works perfectly with fast, smooth focusing. it received my full cleaning treatment. Yes, this takes me anywhere from 15 minutes to 30 minutes depending on a few things. The lenses are super clean with no dust, mold or scratches visible. I did search these lenses on eBay and found several for sale. Some had different titles because some sellers are confused about the VRII type. I am not!!! I read a few of the lenses in the $200.00 plus range. When you get deep into the ads, you will see that some have minor scratches that don't interfere with the pictures! Hmmmm.... I looked at some of the photos and people just don't take care of their camera equipment. They aren't stored correctly and definitely aren't cleaned. All of my lenses have been meticulously cared for and stored properly.
I encourage you to look at other lenses like it for sale on eBay. No one describes their lenses like I do. I have nothing to hide. If you read somewhere else that their lens is used but in good shape, but is still used and might have some small scratches, marks or dust, run. Run far away !!! Then come back to me and place your bid!!
On that note, remember that this is not a brand new lens. I cannot see everything and can make mistakes but, no worries!!! My return policy is very fair. Read below.
I guarantee this to be a genuine Nikon lens and that it will function like new for 30 days. It will also arrived as described. The lens you see in this ad is the lens you will get!!! That is my only guarantee so please look closely at the pictures and description as I will not accept returns other than what my guarantee implies. It definitely doesn't cover misuse or physical damage You risk nothing except return postage.
SHIPPING-I do not attempt to profit on shipping. If the price you pay is higher than my actual cost , then I will refund you the difference over $2.00. If higher, then I eat it. I will reuse recycle shipping boxes, supplies and misc. packaging items depending what I have in stock. Your item might arrive in a new USPS Priority box as well. Either way, I promise you that your items(s) will be delivered to you safe and sound. This saves on my shipping cost and in return, you save $$$ as well. PLEASE NOTE-IF I refund you, it will show up as a refund for this item. It is not a refund cancelling the order. Read the notes. It is for shipping. I had one buyer freak out and instead of asking, they marked me one star and sent me a nasty note stating I refunded them the whole amount and cancelled their order. They accused me of not making enough money!!! Ok, if I cancel your order, you won't be able to leave me feedback. This buyer/reseller had over 100,000 ratings and yet........ This caused two days of strife!!! Everything worked out in the end. I hate adding these extra notes in my ad but problems do occur with jumpy buyers. Calm down and read the fine print folks!!!
I have nothing to hide and I am not sneaky!!!
I will ship this USPS Priority for $14.99 USPS Priority Mail. There isn't much difference in the price for USPS Ground Shipping so I like the expedited services better. This lens is 1.6lbs!!! It isn't what you call a cheaply made lens. These lenses require much more protective materials. I use heavy duty packaging materials which aren't so cheap. I also used recycled and new packaging depending what i have on hand. I will try to pass the savings along to you. Remember that I will refund you any difference over $2.00. Most of my buyers have received refunds. I will ship to anywhere else in the world for $40.00. I will issue refunds for anything over $5.00 in over payment for international shipping. If you don't want to trust me with this, then please don't bid!!! I will combine shipping. Just pay upfront and I will refund you the difference in the cost. I do not know where you live. If you live close to me, then the shipping can drop significantly! As much as half in some cases. Ok, now, believe it or not, I have received messages from eBayers asking me why the shipping is so high because they live in Miami, 45 minutes from me!!! Hmmmmm.......what's wrong with that statement!!! Yes, I have received several messages like this. I promptly block them from bidding!!! Got to love it!!!
I shoot for FIVE STARS. Always have and always will. Do not leave me negative feedback until you have contacted me first. If you do, I will not be able to help you. Read my feedback and I promise you will be satisfied.
NEW EBAYERS ONLY!!! I will sell to new eBayers with under TEN STARS only if you drop me a note first. You must have 100% feedback as well or don't bother bidding. If you fall underneath this and bid without contacting me, I will reserve the right tor eject your bid. New Ebayers agree to pay for the order at auctions end or first thing in the morning. I am not going to chase you for a payment. If you don't pay on time, I reserve the right to mark it in your feedback unless you have made arrangements with me first. I also report non-payment to eBay which is a violation that could get you banned. New buyers will also not be rated by me unless I get positive feed back first. Drop me a note and I will gladly rate finish your feedback. Shipping. Please do not question my shipping charge. I don't want to know why other sellers are cheaper or why one lens I am selling is cheaper to ship then others. Mo, I don't know where you live until you make payment and then, and only then can I see what your actual shipping charges will be. Yes, these are the ridiculous messages I get from numerous new eBayers. If you read my complete ad, you will see your answer. I am not mean or rude. I just don't want to hear every ones problems!!! What I do want to do is help you get off to a good start in eBay with positive feedback and ratings. This is the most important part of being an Ebayer buyer or seller.
Now for the fine print.....
Blah blah blah.....
