I purchased a used film camera from KEH, at a very good price. Upon inspection, after it arrived, I was disappointed in the overall condition of the camera and expressed this to KEH. They immediately provided me a PP return label. My credit card was reimbursed within a couple of days. At this point, I was very satisfied with the results. But then.....Are you ready for this?????...They also gave me a gift card for the full amount of the original purchase!!!! I used the gift card to purchase another, more expensive camera.

There are several good businesses out there selling used equipment, but I don't think you will find a better, more trusting one than KEH.

They are fantastic.
I'm surprised the condition wasn't good.
Everything I've bought from them is better than advertised.

Goofy,

I agree. Everything I have bought from KEH has exceeded my expectations except for this ONE time.

I bought a 300mm Nikkor from them that they rated as fair. To my surprise when it arrived the condition was excellent. I would not hesitate to purchase from them gain. They are a very good vendor.

I decided to return a lens I had bought from Amazon. I got a message on my cell phone to say my money had been refunded 15 minutes after I dropped the return parcel off the shipping counter at Staples. I could have put a rock in the box.

I bought a Nikon D800 rated EX+ from KEH in July 2014. It wouldn't power up. I contacted KEH and they sent me a D800E rated LN for the same price. I have bought BGN rated lenses that looked a little rough, but they worked great and continue to do so. No optical or other problems whatsoever. I have bought used from BH and Adorama, but I prefer KEH.

I just received an 18-300mm Nikkor from them rated at E+. It is came the next day after the order which was a surprise. It is indeed E+. I don't mind used and thus deal saved me almost 300 bucks verses the cost of a new one.

I have also bought some lenses from KEH and am completely satisfied. I bought the Sigma 105mm Macro lens and it came in its original box with all the paperwork etc. You would swear that it was never taken out of the box. It was rated a 9+ and could have been 10+ if there was such a rating. When looking for something new I always check KEH first and B&H at the same time. Have had similar experiences with B&H.

I sold a camera body to KEH, they were quick and honest and I would gladly deal with them again.

KEH is one of the best, but 100% satisfaction isn't always possible. "Very Good" leaves a lot of room for interpretation.
