Just remember that this isn't your money they are spending. It's their money to spend however they see fit. Why not just describe the lens as to size and f stop and the condition in terms of mechanical, optics and cosmetics. If it is a good or excellent quality lens is up to the buyer to decide after they have done their own research. I have lucked into some fantastic lenses that nobody else wanted and I have also bought some real dogs that everyone raved about. You can't babysit the whole world. Sometimes people have to grow up and make their own decisions.
