Must be tough selling a used Tokina in New York...

For all you folks who get "bad copies" of lenses, here's how this guy dealt with that issue:

"SHARP-ASS COPY. YOU THINK A HUSTLER LIKE ME IS GOING TO SIT BACK AND GET BURNED? Ordered one from Amazon and it was soft, sent that shizzle back along with a toe so they knew I meant business - Big Lebowski style. GOT the sharpest copy in their warehouse."

Now DAT guy is a SALESMAN! BOOM! EPIC! (And where DO you get Spaghetti-Ohs?)

So I'm looking at Amazon's Flash Deals of the day and I see a TOE! A FRIGGIN TOE for sale! And, I wonder, WTF what is a TOE doing on Amazon's Flash Deals. Then I read this and BAM! THE LIGHT BULB GOES OFF! All makes sense now.

"OHHH SNAP! Ken Rockwell is in da HOUSE! --- "The Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X is the best ultrawide zoom available for Nikon DX cameras, better than even Nikon's more expensive 12-24mm AF-S DX."
-Ken 'Da Bokeh Killah' Rockwell."

Jajajajajajajajaja

Written to get on Craiglists' "Best of" page, not so much to sell a lens.

"Best of" is mostly formulaic, seasoned with a very few "extremely odd" listings.

I was wondering where he got the toe... thanks for answering the query.
No more soft copies for me anymore... sweet!

You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me. Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish.
