Minolta 28mm 2.8 from ebay with problems, could you please help me out?

Hello everyone!

I have just bought from ebay a nice Minolta 28mm 2.8 (80 euros). Very nice lens, very nice colors. But it has a problem: the AF is ok but the manual focus ring seems just a bit stiff to turn.

It would not be a big problem but I noticed a very little "stripe" of "something" (sorry I just don't know how to describe it coming out from the body.

I contacted the seller and he apologised and said I can send it back. But I am not really sure on what to do.

Here you can see three photos of it: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/isbqqt549ee9fj4/nWwrOV4wFv

Could you please help me out? What problem does it have? Is it a serious problem? Should I keep the lens or give it back?

I am a bit in a hurry because I have to decide if I want to keep it or not, so I will truly appreciate any suggestion!
thank you in advance!
Bob
