I went through the same nonsense this week with KEH. Got a quote of $1496 for a camera and a couple of lenses. so I sent them in. I just heard from them yesterday, 3/26, 16 days later, with a new quote of $1346 which got me so aggrevated that I called them. I told them that their offer of $1496 was fair and the the new $1346 quote was unacceptable because my equipment was pristine. I said If you can't do better, send it back at your expense. The agent said they would give it a second look and get back to me by end of day. The new quote is $1471, so I accepted. The firs go-round was a dance to see how cheap they could get my stuff for. It paid to complain to get them to come around and be fair about the transaction.

Then buy it!
"- Don't ruin other people's classifieds topics with criticism of their asking price or the "righteousness" of the offer. What's cheap and what's expensive is between the buyer and the seller. Same goes for all other aspects of the offer. If you aren't buying, then don't try to derail the topic with your criticism. Repeated violations of this will lead to a ban from the Classifieds section. If you need to correspond with the seller regarding the price, then you can do that via private messages."

Magic words. Not only you but the majority here will NEVER be able to use all the technologies incorporated in the new cameras. I have old cameras and I have not been able to use all of the features the cameras are capable of. There is something else, at least in my case it is impossible to remember those features so, if the situation arise I have to go back to the instructions and start all over again.
