Most of the time a refurbished camera has fewer than 500 clicks. They are cameras that are at camera shows and expositions around the country. Some of them might have only 2 or 3 clicks.
Not all the times. I bought my D810 from Adorama as a factory referb and it had 2200. It looked new and was their last one priced at $2350 so I kept it. Now there are no referbed D810's available at that price and I'm sure I won't out shoot the shutter anyway. One more thing, Adorama gives a one year warranty with referbs its sells, rather than a 90 day at Nikon.

You might want to double check that 1 year warranty. Don't think it applies unless you purchase an extended policy...but I may be wrong.

I have purchased a couple of lenses from KEH and had outstanding success with them. And as soon as I get my money saved up, I plan on purchasing a couple more items.

What is the opinion of purchasing a pre-owned Nikon camera from Nikon or KEH?
All of my current equipment was purchased refurbished, either from the Nikon Store or Cameta. As long as the service was done by the factory, you are good to go. Choose from who has the stuff that you want in stock and go from there.

Sorry, but unethical dealers have been known to slap a "Refurbished" label on a box containing either used or counterfeit goods.
The only way to be safe is to purchase refurbished goods from either the manufacturer or a factory authorized reseller.

My wife also read the add before we purchased and the both of us interpreted it the same. Adorama extended the warranty another nine months.

Adorama handled the 3rd to the 12th month. The standard Nikon warranty on refurbs is 3 months.

I know with Cameta Camera, all their refurbs come with a 1 year warranty vs the mfg 90 day warranty.

That looks like Cameta provides the warranty instead of Nikon.
That sentence on the bottom about the 4 year extended looks interesting.

My mistake, I bought the camera from Cameta,,,, not Adorama. I guess I'm just getting old.

I think getting old comes with age.

Yes, the refurb warranty from Nikon is 90 days... buying thru Cameta gets a 1 year, but thru Cameta - same for Adorama.
When I bought my D7100 new, I also bought a 3 year Diamond warranty from Mack at the dealer - covered drops :)

Guess I was just going by the below, which is a part of their warranty disclosure on their site -
"All refurbished equipment sold by Adorama include a 90-day return-to-manufacturer warranty". :?:
