KEH does not tax to Florida. It's probably a. California thing. Also for the most part KEH prices are lower then eBay,the items are cleaned and inspected before shipment. KEH.puts a free six month warranty on what they sell except for as is. They also service what they sell. When. I need used gear I go straight to them. EBay does not provide the extras that KEH does.

Bought a lens and tele-converter from them. Can't tell them from new. Good honest business you won't go wrong buying something used from them.
I made my first purchase of a "Like New - Minus" quality Nikkor 50mm f1.4G lens from KEH.com last week and it arrived in about four days. The lens was exactly as described by their "industry standard" rating system... very clean glass but possibly some signs of wear on the body that are difficult to detect except under the closest of inspection. (I can't find any signs of wear on the lens I received).
I paid about $300 with both caps but no hood or the storage bag, using a 10% off coupon they previously sent me in a promo email. They don't charge sales tax and shipping is free on orders over $99. The overall quality of the lens is comparable to refurbished lenses I've purchased from Nikonusa.com. Make sure to register on their website and opt-in to receive their emails, which frequently feature 10-20% off coupons.

I have compared prices on ebay against KEH and prices are lower on ebay, sometimes by a lot. I buy mostly used Minolta and Nikon glass. Maybe you buy another brand. But on those two brands their is a difference and it usually favors ebay. I have bought from KEH when the prices favor them and they have been excellent to deal with, no complaints. It always pays to compare. Also, when I go to sell used Minolta and Nikon glass, the price I get from ebay is ALWAYS a lot higher than what KEH will give me.

I've dealt with them and they are great to do business with. I was overdue by a few days in returning a camera and they allow the return without penalty.
KEH is the best! have no fear, buy anything from them and they'll back it up 100%. Their condition ratings are also very conservative. I've bought some items they call "bgn" and found they were in excellent condition.
Great place to deal with and their grading is higher than they state , also there's a warranty .
I have bought and sold camera bodies and lenses from KEH and have always found that their ratings of used equipment are spot on and true. I have never had any second thoughts about buying and selling to KEH. I do have one advantage if I find an item I wish to view, I can make a request, and drive to KEH and look at the item as KEH is about 23 miles from my home.
The best.
Used Photo Pro is also good. I have bought used equipment from both, and no problems.
KEH is probable the standard of the industry.
