haha, i've heard horror stories of people saying a lens has no mold, only to receive the lens and find mold. I wouldn't buy a lens used, but that's me.
If (and I would expect this may be the case in 2 years), all budget DSLR switch to FF, these DX lenses might be phased out in time, and thus having a DX camera would become a burden, because you have to find those darn DX lenses that are no longer made........ if that makes any sense.
While I agree that Nikon will eventually switch budget DSLRs to FF, I don't think it'll happen in 2 years. The APS sized sensors are doing fine and from what I understand, they haven't hit their limit. I think Thom Hogan said that the theoretical limit for APS sensors is about 16mp. Besides, the DX sensors are doing a good job and cheaper for the beginner and enthusiast photographer and there is a great line of lenses to support those cameras. Look at the D300. I'm still drooling over that camera and it has a 12mp APS sensor that has amazingly low noise in high ISO. I don't think the DX market is one that Nikon or Canon will not give up all that quickly especially when it's a cost advantage to the consumer.

I've never had an issue returning things not-as-described through Paypal and ebay.

2 Years is a very long time (2-3 generations).......
but like the old proverb says: "Only time will tell".
I think it will be easier to tell once Canon announce their 5d successor. Canon are usually the first to either new tech or lower price points.
For sure. I was so sad when they didn't release their new 5D last month. I sometimes wonder if they are waiting for nikon to announce a D300 type Full Frame, only to release their new one to steal some of the spot light.
Either way though, it's just bound to happen... and I'm betting sooner than latter.
