hmm, have I learned anything from this lesson ? All I have to do
is to use the word 'new' a lot of times in my auction, and the stuff may
become new or gets newer than new.
Ok, let's see, I have an off-brand like new zoom lens, fallen 
(the other day - first time ever it's in this new state) apart 
re_dis_re_assembled to see what's inside, and checked it. all parts
inside are like new, as new, or really new. The inner lens group is new
as is the apperature (NEW of course !); even the _lubricant_ is like new. 
I make some new scratches on the paint, used a new screw driver to 
reassemble it, and have some like new spare parts - if you want it
there are even some as n e w skylight or other filters that I can throw in.
Oh, I forgot to mention there is now some _new_dust_ inside ;-))
