I live about 30 miles from their location in Symrna, Georgia and have been there a few times to pick up or return goods. They used to be on Marietta street downtown. They do not have a storefront and you need to call and schedule an appointment to either drop off or pick up anything. I have sold to them but did so at an expo they were at. I wish they did have a storefront, but they don't.

Thanks so much. I am so glad I asked before just driving down there with stuff to sell. Appreciate the info!

25 years or so ago, KEH had a very nice storefront in northwest Dallas. They even relocated and expanded it once or twice. I was a pretty regular visitor and customer. I was venturing into medium format after taking a couple of photography classes and they always seemed to have lots of very nice Mamiya TLR and SLR equipment at very attractive prices.

I have many times wished that their store was still in the area. It was without exception a friendly and helpful place to visit.

Being a former New Yorker, and having been a frequent visitor to the B&H store, my motto is: if B&H doesn't have it, you don't need it! Every time I return to NY, I always visit there. It is an experience every serious photographer needs to experience! Now that I am no longer living in the 'lower 48, ' I find their online or phone ordering customer service exceptional!
I know this post was originally about KEH but I felt compelled to add my two cents given the responses before mine.

I live a couple hours from there and am thinking of making the trip to their real store to sell/buy stuff. Is it worth the drive? Thank you in advance!

I went there about 6 months ago and was looked at very strangely because they are not set up like retail store. I had some equipment to trade in on a camera that I wanted, but they do not do business that way. I had to leave the equipment with them for evaluation and they sent me a check later. I would not waste the gas for a 2 hour trip to go there. I am just relating my experience. I have the most confidence in KEH and I continue to deal with them solely by Internet or telephone.

Thanks, Jim. I will deal over the internet and save myself a trip through the Atl. traffic!

Buy online with confidence. They rate their gear VERY conservatively. Used dealers don’t get much better.
