Then you don't say it's fungus... you ask how come got honey and you thought you were viewing a MacD pancake lor. Chey. :nono:
Just be careful he dun say your hand got fungus, touch already put the fungus there on his lens and force you to buy, when his lens actually does have fungus already :bsmilie:

There is always 3 sides to every story. The thread starter's, yours and finally, the truth.OK. Some clarifications:
- I did not buy the lens, and the main reason is that he got NO receipt to claim that the warranty is still valid for 7 months more. Somemore he mentioned that the lens would have 3 more months of warranty if registering online. I know that's not true. Hence I started to suspect if the warranty is actually valid or not.
- I spotted a bit of fungus on the front element of the lens. I did ask the seller for a cloth to try to wipe it off. He said didn't have. I tried to look more closely, but could not figure out whether the fungus is inside or outside. Then I accidentally touched my finger on the front element. OK, my bad, I admitted, and I'm really sorry (my bad habit actually, for those cheap lens, even my 17-50mm usually I just use my finger to wipe the dirt off). But later, realizing my mistake I DID ask him is it ok to gently touch my finger a bit to see whether it will go off. He did agree, thus I moved on again. I was afraid that the fungus is inside, that's why the check. And, dear seller, if the slight touch of my finger (not the nail) has already damaged your lens, let me know, I'll come get it from you.
There are some more reasons that the deal did not go through, e.g., when mounted on, the hood wobbles excessively, which I didn't like. But the seller claimed it's in MINT condition. To me it's not.
I did not bother to negotiate a price, as I felt $250 is a OK price alreay. So seller, do not think I was trying to get some discounts, no, a few tens of $ means nothing to me.
To the seller again: did I force you to come over to pioneer? Did I know where u stay? Did I say to you I will surely buy without any inspection? So you have no right to public my number on a forum. If you do not take my identity off, be sure that a police report will be filed against you.
Its good you gave your side of the story. 3 months extended warranty if registered online, as far as i know is true.
But I am wondering, what basis is there a police case?
