    Well, ecbuyonline offered me a 40% discount if I buy another bellows. I'm considering it, but don't know if I want to take another chance or not...

    Depends on the warranty offered...

    No, we only know they offered one person a 40 percent discount to mitigated a very old and previously unclaimed warranty issue.

    Ergo, their cost price. Pretty simple concept. Balance of customer satisfaction and mitigated loss.

    That's an assumption.

    All that I know is if I tried making a bellows it would probably almost cost me their price in materials alone. Then I would be happy if it didn't leak light and the camera actually closed up. I know it would be as ugly as sin.

    The offer seems more than fair given the amount of time that passed without making a complaint.

    A 40% discount, and you are just thinking about it. You must have gotten used to that patched up bellows. No matter how the new bellows turns out I am pretty sure you could resell it yourself for that much. If you end up liking it then sell the other one to help cover your cost.
