Greentoe is just a broker. You would deal with the actual vendor for returns.

So SD likes greentoe now? Wonder what changed?

Note that greentoe makes somewhat annoying / expensive to return / ship it back if the lens is decentered or not sharp on one side.

Also, Tamron will not pay shipping to send to service by default. You gotta ask really nicely.

Yes, but if it is obviously bad B&H / Adorama / Amazon / etc will provide a return label. Have fun with the company that greentoe pairs you up with.

That is true as well - you don't get to choose the vendor, and whoever you end up may be less accommodating than the 3 you mention. Of course, if they let you hang, you still have Greentoe to work with, who may then intervene on your behalf.

In any case, I don't understand these GT posts... The allure of GT is that you make an offer and they may or may not accept it, but there is (was) a chance of a great deal. Posting a fixed price guarantees that this isn't the lowest price one could get. I guess some don't want to go through the bidding process...

I looked at the vendors return policy and they do say for defective product they're only liable for cost of the order. Since shipping was free I assumed I'd have to pay return shipping if it is defective. But shipping would probably be ~10$ so for me it's still worth it. I have a unit I just received from BeachCamera and I paid 799 on that one.

I've also never heard of the defects you mentioned. Are those obvious? I'm upgrading a Sony FE kit lens (28-70mm F3.5-5.6) because I take photos for products and for the smaller items like the size of a thumb, I get some corner blur. But I also have larger products (40" monitors, large AV units) that I need to cover as well. I guess I could do two lens but for my purposes I think I should be able to get away with 1.

Feel free to make a lower offer but it doesn't make sense to make a GT post (or any post) that doesn't have a price which is why I disclosed I am simply posting what I got it for. 599 also seems to be the lowest ever based on my research so that would be the main allure here..

$600 for this lens is a steal. Great for video and photo.

Agree with you! I bought this lens and ended up wishing for 24-70. So wanted to return right after I received it, my seller Cardinal Camera wasn't interested in answering basic questions like the refund window, they just told me ship it on your own expense and we will look into it.
I ended up selling it on Marketplace which was an unnecessary hassel.

I think it's good to know what people are bidding in general so I don't have to low ball.

Can anyone share who the retailer is? Had some issues with a particular retailer on GT with no stock but will accept the offer.
