UHH my best deals have been made right here, both buying and selling.

CHG_CANON Loc: the Windy City

I've had some questionable UHH purchases, although mostly flawless. I've bought from most of the above, and ebay, over more than the last decade of buying used. Robert's of Indianapolis is missing as a 'good' place to buy used, and new if you can visit their store.

People are always saying Abe's of Maine has great prices.

I have purchased used from Adorama, B&H, NikonUSA and MPB many times and I’ve never had an issue with any of them. I tend to buy Excellent or Like New and I’m not disappointed in the condition of the products purchased.
I’ve read good reviews about Hunt and KEH.
If I were to rate them, I would place Adorama at the bottom of the list only because I’ve read where others had issues with them. Just saying.
Good luck

https://usedphotopro.com/ is the used equipment sales group at Roberts Camera in Indianapolis, IN. I've bought a lens or two from them with good results. I second the others on your list.

Sammies in Cal. is another place I have had good dealings with. I bought a like new Canon DSLR from them that came with an unexpected excellent condition Canon flash unit.

eBay if you know what you're doing and check seller reviews and photos very closely.

Add Allen's Camera, outside Philadelphia, Pa. https://allenscamera.com/

They have a great supply of only top quality used gear of all major brands, and are a family-owned mom and pop dealer, well renowned by pros and hobbyists alike. It is the favorite mom and pop dealership of mine and also of Jared Polin (youtube's Fro-Knows). It is where he got his start and he still uses them and includes them in his videos and yearly gear contest giveaways (see videos linked below).

Allen's only accepts the best quality used gear. I have been in the store in person and watched Adorama come down from NYC and buy a host of Allen's used gear of all brands to take back to NYC and sell at Adorama, really.

I have bought new and used gear from Allen's for decades, and sold them some of my used gear too and they totally scrutinize it to be sure it is top notch before they will take it. Super honest and fair folks.

Give them a call and ask for the owner Brandon and he or any of the fine sales folks can help you. Tell them Fro-Knows sent you.

Some Jared Polin "Fro-Knows" videos shot at Allens:

MrPhotog

https://usedphotopro.com/, But if one wishes to search their products on eBay, they are listed as Roberts.

I've found that the same items listed on eBay may be a bit less expensive if bought in the store. Really nice people there. You can try haggling over a better price. I've been more successful with that when buying multiple items. And you save on shipping.

Tip: On the eBay website I'll click the heart to put an item on my watch list. Often Robert's will send me a message within a few days offering a 7% discount over the listed eBay price.

Ebay, with Ebay you have 30 days (no questions asked return policy" to make sure Nikon product was "as advertised". If it is not, you can return it.
I have never bought a bad product, but I always buy "mint in box".
