  1. <p>A few years ago, I went to an exhibition were one retailer had large amounts of Nikon stock marked refurbished.<br> My brother purchased a 70-300 that appeared to new and the packaging seemed have been unopened and he's been very happy with it since.<br> We suspected that this very amount of refurbished stock was the result off a very large UK photographic chain had gone bankrupt (UK bankruptcy law is much more aggressive than US with no chapter 11 equivalent) a few months before, after a long period of poor sales.<br> The theory was that Nikon had supplied cameras and lens to the chain on a sale or return basis, and once the chain finally failed, Nikon got their equipment back, but not knowing how any equipment had been handled by the shops, Nikon couldn't sell any of it as new, so it was checked and then sold off as a batch of refurbished stock to the retailer my brother dealt with. <br> I would second the advice about getting a new card, I have before had a card that was bad from new.</p>
