In addition to a positive result when buying a body at a good price, I got good technical support in CHOOSING that body among the similarly priced alternatives. Thie KEH Rep was knowledgeable and asked all the right questions to get me over the Digital Divide at a price I could afford.

Please take the search feature suggestions to heart. You could have had immediate confidence enough to purchase the whatever you'e contemplating. Despite a few trolls, who have their own issues, this forum is a great repository of valid information and quality experience.

Welcome,

This topic comes up frequently. I have been doing business with KEH for more than a decade. They have my highest recommendation. Their selection is second to none and their ratings are conservative. They also offer a 180-day warranty on many items. Their prices may be a little on the high side but you can have peace of mind that the item has been checked out and works the way it should. You get what you pay for.

Did you consider using the search box? KEH comes up about once a month with almost the verbatim question, such as https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-540630-1.html

I haven't commented on KEH questions in a while as others tend to say the same as my experience, specifically:

The equipment, when received, tends to exceed the conservative ratings provided by KEH. LN (Like New) really is like new except the equipment does not arrive in the original box. Ratings EX and EX+ (excellent) really are excellent, again almost like new although not like it just came from the box.

If you're considering a lens model that maybe didn't come with a hood or tripod collar, you typically can get these included from KEH for a total price less than purchasing these items separately.

Absolutely correct!!! I have bought a number of lenses from KEH. I have bought only the LN, EX+ and EX categories, and in every case, the lens was near perfect.

I have not gone for the Bargain category.

I have purchased only small stuff but have very surprised by the speed, and understated quality. They are very good use and I will use again.

They are reputable, have dealt with them a number of times no problems.. The repair facility is also excellent.

I can vouch for the fact that the equipment ratings are usually correct. If you ship a piece of equipment to them for evaluation, quotes are quickly given, some used equipment sellers are slow to give quick offers or quotes

Yes. Two camera bodies (Olympus E-30, Olympus E-5). Two lenses as well. No complaints. Excellent condition, always better than rated.
