Accidental Purchase

Photobucket
(Sigma 24-70mm F2.8)

The Sigma 24-70mm was part of my wishlist for quite sometime now and I was already planning to get it sometime in the next month or so(tunggu elaun keluar lah). I was taking a break from doing my projects, so decided to browse through Ebay. I found out that a seller was selling his Sigma 24-70mm for a "Buy It Now" price of 275 GBP and to think of it, it was quite cheap since the lens cost between 300-400 GBP in the camera shops here in Cardiff and plus it was free next day delivery.

But, below the "Buy It Now" option, there was a "Make an Offer" option. So, curious that I was I decided to make an offer of 250 GBP and within 2 hours of that offer, the seller agreed to let the lens go for the offered price. Rather than not paying for the item and get a bad feedback review, I decided to go for it and pay for the lens plus I was going to get anyway. I've just tested it and it is superb!
