I have purchased lenses from KEH but never sold to them. MPB prices always better.

K E H is top drawer in all aspects! "Clicks" aren't as important to some people as to others. They stand behind everything they offer. Best rating system in the business.

I have made several lens purchases from KEH, and I would consider their rating system to be somewhat conservative - everything I have ever recieved from them was in better condition than what I would have expected

I don't like they way KEH quotes you one price and then sends a check for much less.
I submitted a 3-month-old Olympus 10iii body in excellent condition -- absolutely nothing wrong with it. They quoted me $190. I sent it in and got a check for $140. When I called to ask what was wrong, and they said "dust in the lens." I didn't sent them a lens, I sent them a camera.
Learned my lesson! It was worth $50 to know that I shouldn't deal with them.

There is a lens in the electronic viewfinder...
Did you speak with a manager? They should have called you to inform you of the drop in what they would pay, rather than just cutting you a check. You should have had the option to pay for shipping it back to you.

Yeah this story sounds suspicious.

One reason why I don't sell to them anymore. MPB quotes a price and if they value it less, they contact first.

My experience buying a lens from KEH was similar to the others. I took a chance on a used lens that arrived looking and performing like brand new.
I mostly sell to mpb.com because they've even paid me more than their estimate after receiving my used lens.

no, no one called and no one emailed. And if hey had I would have asked, how can a three-month-old camera have dust in any part of it? I don't live in a desert, and I know how to take care of my gear.

One other comment, KEH is in Atlanta and I live in the metro area. I have to pay tax. MPB does not charge tax, at least I haven’t paid any.

That's why I only use ebay, there is a Olympus 10III body that sold for $227. take away the 10% that ebay charges and you have $205.30 left. A lot more than the $190.00 that KEH was going to give you and a $65.30 more than you got from KEH for yours. I always sell on ebay and I get to keep the extra money for newer equipment. Why give your hard earned money to KEH?

I second all the positive comments regarding KEH.
