I'm considering buying an EF-S 18-200 zoom from a used equipment dealer. Somewhere on the web ( I can't remember) I found that that lens had been identified as having a potential fault, in that screws came loose internally jamming the zoom mechanism. This was on lenses with serial numbers between 45oxxx and 63xxx. The serial number of this lens is in that range. The dealer does give a 6 month warranty and says the lens has been checked prior to sale. I think I would rather buy from a dealer than on e-bay. I don't know the likelihood of this fault occurring, or whether it has done previously and been fixed.
What do you think - is it worth a gamble or not?
