After reading this entire thread it seems that the OP is a "tad bit" business and internet protocol/security "challenged."

YOu will have better luck on Ebay. Adorama has to keep room for them to make profit and that comes out of your profit. Most ebayers are end users so they are not going to resell.

You are absolutely correct. Also, we are needing to cost in the warranty, the returns period, the free shipping in for evaluation (and back if a customer isn't happy with the offer; repairs, servicing and cleaning; wages; advertising, storage. It goes on and on!

Im well aware what its called. Thats why I never sell to a place like that. I sold my tamron 18-200 on ebay and got 200 bucks for it. well above adorama or any other retail shop.

It is seldom the equipment but almost always the photographer.
The lenses you mention are good glass.

So I'm an ass for telling someone to try ebay instead of a retail store. Then you get condescending because I don,t know what OP means. Why don,t you speak like an adult in complete words and not like some 15 year old girl.

I just sent in two lenses to Adorama to be evaluat... (show quote)
I just bought the 18-270 from a private party almost new less than a year old with box warranty and ever thing for three hundred. He bought it shoot high school band and soccer with and was not happy with it. I have got used to it but it is not very good and sharp at the upper end. It is over rated for a walk around lens.
