p.1 #1 · Used Nikons?


Anyone care to share places on getting used Nikons? Which place has the best rating system? I recently got a D1x from KEH that was listed as "Like new" and the rating was right on the money. I'd like to get another one in that same or better condition but all they have are a few rated below that category. Any positive experiences with any companies out there?

I also noticed that some of the big name companies that sell new equipment (like B&H, Adorama, etc) don't have much of a used selection. I'm interested in companies that specialize in used equipment.

Try http://keh.com

They seem to have a very good reputation when it comes to used equipment.

Keh really is the only place i will buy used. I have tried others like adorama but KEH is unbeatable in that respect. Or using other forum members(buy/sell).

Wouldn`t it be nice if there were a few brand new ones still available?
But alas, the best one can hope for is getting an extremely low mileage one in pristine condition.

I've had good luck with KEH, but last time I bought a 'LN-' lens from them, and it wasn't LN-. Cosmetically there were no marks, but the slide-out attached hood wasn't round. It had been bent into an elliptical shape, so it didn't slide in and out well. They took it back, of course, but shipping it back was a pain, and they didn't have another in like condition to send me as replacement.

I've had outstanding luck with Charlotte Camera, in NC, and also with Pro Photo Supply in Portland.

Also ritzcam, but they are a mostly-film place: www.ritzcam.com
Along those lines (film) is Kevin Cameras: www.kevincameras.com

The 70-200 VR is sold. I know this is not the BS forum but I have a lot of really nice stuff left.

KEH is the best place for used.
In my experience, their Bargain rating is the Excellent rating on Adorama (got a 35-70 & 50mm).

No questions asked if you want to return, just that hassle of going to the post office & paying postage.

You could also check the refurbs & demo's on ebay for Cameta Auctions
HTH.

I just bought a used 105 1.8 AIS lens from Charlotte Camera. Excellent service and the lens was as described. Awesome piece of glass BTW.

They tend to have a larger slection of used equiptment than B&H, and I have been very pleased with every purchase I have made from them.
