PhotoDude79 Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #1 · BGN Rating at KEH.... Has anyone ever bought a camera that rated this at KEH? I've heard they are very conservative with their ratings. Just wondering. May 16, 2008 at 05:01 AM

tuannie Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #2 · BGN Rating at KEH.... From my experience, they are conservative with their rating unlike B&H and Adorama. I have bought a bargain 50 1.4 AF and it was in excellent condition. I am not sure about the camera though. Tuan May 16, 2008 at 05:49 AM

bellyface Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #3 · BGN Rating at KEH.... i've bought BGN cameras from them and all I can say is, very conservative, very conservative. By all means... don't hesitate. May 16, 2008 at 05:55 AM

mhayes5254 Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #4 · BGN Rating at KEH.... I bought a bargain rated 35mm f2 and a bargain D1H. Happy with both. What I got was perfectly functional with a slight cosmetic defect on the lens barel and some worn paint on the corners of the camera. I see no reason to buy a higher rated item from them.

Conner999 Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #6 · BGN Rating at KEH.... I usually start at BGN and work my way up if a BGN isn't available. They typically under-rate their gear. With KEH BGN is truely a BGN if you're ok with maybe some very minor cosmetic wear . Glass may have some dust inside (what lenses don't?), but they are a safe bet. Camera gear are like jeans - you really don't want to be see in pristine, dark blue, never seen a washer or sunlight Levis do you? May 16, 2008 at 11:42 AM

_ECK_ Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #7 · BGN Rating at KEH.... I just bought a 300 f4 lens rated Bargain, because of the filter ring dent. other than that the lens is in EX+ condition. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with them again. May 16, 2008 at 02:19 PM

Marc Kurth Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #8 · BGN Rating at KEH.... I have not purchased a Bargain rated body, but I have picked up several lenses, a tripod and ballhead that exceeded my expectations for "Bargain" condition. May 16, 2008 at 02:42 PM

vwap Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #9 · BGN Rating at KEH.... Never bought a body, but in terms of lenses, I've had mixed results, though generally on the conservative side. I recently returned a lens rated EX that had a pretty significant ding in the center of the rear element. Their return policy is great, but sometimes it takes a fair bit of time to process your return. All in all, I'm a happy KEH shopper. May 16, 2008 at 06:27 PM

freaklikeme Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #10 · BGN Rating at KEH.... My experience has also been that they are very conservative in their estimates. May 16, 2008 at 07:36 PM

You should have no problems, and if you do, they have a great return policy. ...unless you request a refund. If you do request a refund instead of exchanging the deffective item you will have to wait a very long time before you get any credit back to your card. I waited several months for a refund of a deffective item I returned and all I kept getting for several months were excuses and "your credit card will be refunded next week". I spoke to several people there and after a few months of excuses I finally got my refund. And no, it was not MY credit card company that took a long time to process the credit, it was KEH that took a very long time to send the credit back to may card. As far as their BGN rating, it is a matter of luck. I have received BGN items that have been much rougher than I expected. Also, I have purchased DSLR's (D1X's to be exact) from them in EX+ and LN- condition only to find that several of them had scratched sensors. I have purchased numerous items from them including cameras and lenses and I have been a bit luckier when I get something in LN- condition. May 17, 2008 at 02:02 AM

jpwing8 Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #12 · BGN Rating at KEH.... I also bought a camera rated bargain, it was in great condition. I would have said an 8 out of 10 for sure. May 17, 2008 at 02:50 AM

runamuck Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #13 · BGN Rating at KEH.... My F4 was rated bargain. It's seen some heavy use but it just keeps on going. May 17, 2008 at 03:32 AM

Justin Huffman Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #14 · BGN Rating at KEH.... Ive bought several lenses over the last 3 years all at bgn listing, and never had a problem. May 17, 2008 at 11:11 PM
