selling to keh

has anyone done this and do you think they give a fair price? is it better to just sell on your own( worth the time and effort i mean)

thanks

depends on how you define fair price..basically they will give you less than it's worth so they can then resell it for what it's worth and make some profit, it's like selling a used car, you will usually get more by selling it yourself...than you would selling it to a dealer..

ebay can bring the best price ,if, the right person is looking for the item , the same time you are selling...if their are dozens of similar items on ebay, then your profit will drop...

If you have something good to sell, give us a chance at it first!

i was thinking of trading in my 28-135 "refurbished aka botched by canon" lens...so nothing anyone here would want, although i would consider trading my canon efs 17-55mm kit lens for oh, say a nice 10-22, i'll throw in a couple of old film canisters which i found were perfect to carry pressed disney pennies in...any takers????

the place i was considering trading it in at said it seems canon's "cleaning" included putting dust inside the element (so basically wanted to give me nothing for a 6 month old lens)

the canon tech i then talked to said could make it "less than sharp" and i know it was sharp when i sent it in so i guess i will give canon chance #2 to fix it. i figured anyone would give me less for trade in than selling outright but hate selling stuff. i've bought stuff on ebay but never sold it although that probably is the way to go since i see stuff going on there that is way over the value, evidently due to the thrill of the auction...

i'll see what happens when i get it back and maybe i'll end up keeping it if it's ok...who knows at this point

i thought i'd be better off trading it in locally but wondered how the online places like b&h and keh worked and if they were decent to deal with or lowballed you

years ago I had checked on trading or selling some gear with Ritz camera, the price they offered was so far under true value that I laughed at them and said no thanks
