They have an excellent reputation and are the go-to camera store in Indiana, for both new and used.
good place to get to know. great service.
I forgot to add, since we all try to use and advocate for our local camera stores, might I suggest you also check in the Schillers Camera here in St. Louis. I have purchased all my camera products, to include three L series lenses. They are great. So I'd like to invite you to check them out. That would be
www.schillers.com. You could ask for Jim Brooks, the manager. If you do, tell him that Bill E. sent you. He will go the extra mile for all your needs.
Yes, very good - based on several purchases. After I bought a DSLR from them, Nikon lowered the price, and they refunded me the difference.

First class company..bought numerous equipment from Used Photo Pro..bought a used flash and the power could not be changed remotely ( something that they could not have known )..called them and received the replacement immediately..and when I purchase new equipment, Robert's is first on my list.
Have both purchased from and sold used equipment to UsedPhotoPro. An absolutely first rate company! Accurately conservative assessments of equipment condition. Excellent professionals to work with. They are my first place to check when I have a sell/trade/buy in mind.
whatdat Roberts is a well seasoned industry player... I continue to deal with them for vintage glass...
They actually verify that the lenses are fully functional and advertise with actual images of the item.
"... Looking at a Nikon listed as used..." whatdat are you considering? A previously owned camera body?
If so I would recommend mpb... They are the only (to the best of my knowledge) vendor who posts Shutter Activation's with each camera body they sell... While maybe not the most highly reliable diagnostic parameter it is kind of like the mileage on a "Previously Owned" used automobile.
All the following vendors will allow you to return (most) items within an ~ 14 to 30 day period... B&H; KEH, mpb, Roberts, Adorama, and even eBay vendors. So be certain to run whatever you purchase through it's paces BEFORE the return period ends, k?
btw, for "Commercial Use" cameras I always purchase Refurbished by and from Nikon USA. I have two Nikon D3x that they sold me that are over a decade old and have never had an issue (and I'm a heavy user of my commercial kit).
Hope this helps whatdat
All the best on your journey...
They are awesome. Very professional and willing to help you with your questions. I recommend them.

Good company, as is UsedPhotoPro, their "used gear" selling division.

I have bought from them on several occasions and found them honest and reliable. Best of luck.
Thanks for replies. Placed a camera order with them this morning.
Great place to buy and sell, new or used. They got a lot of bucks from me when I switched to mirrorless!
