I was planning to purchase the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lens off Amazon in a week or two, for $125, plus shipping. Looking on my local Craigslist a minute ago, I just noticed that someone has this lens for sale for $88. They said, "Mint Condition w/Original Front and Rear Lens Caps" and have a couple photo's of it.
It's a good deal price wise, saves me the shipping costs and the waiting time on getting it. But, what should I look for if I decide to buy the lens from them? I know about obvious things like scratches or marks on the lens. Anything else? I'm still learning about lenses and everything, so I don't want to go buy this lens and then get it home only to realize that something is wrong with it.
