KEH offered me $62 for a brand new unused over $400 Nikon battery grip, $72 for a D3500 body with a shutter count of 126 and $165 for a Nikon D7200. I sold the grip for $210 on ebay, the D3500 for $325 on Craigslist and the D7200 for $550 on Craigslist. KEH is a rip off!

Hi Snapchick! Thanks for love. I'm glad you had a great experience selling with us. :)

I started using KEH back when they still had a walk-in store and have always been happy with them. I have decades of gear that needs a new home and was considering B&H, but I think I'll use KEH instead. Thanks, Snapchick!

Thank you,I JUST MAILED A HUGE BOX OF Fuji gear to KEH today,nice to hear it works well,I am down sizing to buy the new x h2

I’ve used KEH since the early 2000’s to buy and sell gear. They have been wonderful through all these years.

I have using KEH for more years than I’d like to admit. I will recommend them 100% for both buying and selling. I have never had an issue buying or selling to them. Always honest and fair without question.

KEH and MPB are both very good. I've also bought from usedphotopro, and I really like that they actually tell you the shutter count (if known).

Thanks for making this

I have never sold anything to KEH but I have purchased 4 lenses and a body from them. I have been very happy with my purchases and it's nice to hear that selling is easy and worthwhile. When I am ready to sell I will go to them.

I agree with you. When I lived in Connecticut I would go to their store in NYC (always a treat!) to sell buy gear. Wonderful people to deal with.

Ditto: Only good experiences with KEH. They’ve actually INCREASED their offers after receiving and evaluating my gear. It’s wonderful to clear the clutter (and make room for new clutter).

I recently tried them for the first time just this last month, and they were great. Communication was constant, both via email and phone. One lens they valued lower than I had expected, so they sent that one lens back, but otherwise it was a seamless and fabulous experience. Definitely going to use them in the future.

I have bought and sold from both KEH and Roberts Camera. Never had a problem with either. Waiting on Fuji 100-400 lens to arrive from KEH right now

I agree with eliminating the hassles of Ebay type selling. I use B&H and their buying process is equally easy and I’d highly recommend them too. Like KEH, you get an immediate online quote, and a free shipping label. The prices I’ve gotten are similar to what I’d have gotten on Ebay, without the uncertainty or hassles.

Same experience here. I highly recommend.

Sounds similar to the process from B&H Photo, and I’ve also used MPB and have been happy with both, would not recommend Adorama, felt like they lowballed me.

Great video describing how simple the process is. I sold some of my loved but not being used Nikon cameras and lenses to MPB recently in a similar manner and the process was very smooth and hassle free. They wired my account the money in three days once they had received my gear. I received about 40% of what I paid for the equipment new and the items and were 3-5 years of age in mostly excellent condition. The only hard part is the remorse of seeing old friends depart but it is like ripping a bandaid off, best done rapidly. I’m glad someone else will now get to use the gear because it sat lonely for too long. I have purchased used from KEH, MPB and Roberts and they all were very reputable and fair. Thanks for sharing your experience and your very helpful videos.

I used KEH and they lowballed my gear which was in terrific shape as I am very careful with my gear. I have bought used gear from B&H and have had good results.

I concur completely. I just sold one Fuji camera body and three lenses and it was easy, smooth, quick, and a reasonable price. This was gear that was sitting on my shelf, largely unused, and it allowed me to buy (new) a Nikon 200-500 lens for wildlife photography. Two thumbs up.

MPB is my go-to for buying and selling gear. They have great prices and offer really decent trade and sale values.

Bought my Nikon D810 from them. And also a few lenses. No issues at all. They arrived in great condition for a fair price. I'm like you guys through, I tend to hang on to all my gear, even stuff I rarely use.

Good to hear good experiences selling this way. I am considering but as i go through cameras i haven't used in years, I started using them again;-) Just have to fix a broken Panasonic GX8 battery door (can't get the body apart to put a new one on so I'm gluing it again and nothing her shows how to do it) to try that again and see if I want to keep it. Tough being a hoarder of things:-)

I have never sold anything thru them, but have purchased lenses. All very smooth, fairly priced and product was in better condition that I was actually expecting. 100% recommend them.

I’ve bought from KEH with no issues. As for selling (and buying) I’ve had great service from Robert’s / UsedPhotoPro in Indianapolis. Process is just as smooth and timely and KEH’s. Honest,fair values by excellent people.

I love you hear or see a demo from also. 👊🏾🙏🏽👌🏾✌🏾🙏🏽

Great colors and light in this video

Knowing I was planning on getting more gear down the line, and did not need the cash right off the bat, I took store credit at a local camera store here in Seattle. Ended up only having to pay 1/2 the cost for the canon pro 1000 printer before the mail in rebate, which after the rebate money out of my pocket was just about $400. And trade in means not having to deal with scam emails and people trying to get it for nothing.

I finally managed to sort out vintage gear I was willing to sell about eighteen months ago. I still have all three boxes waiting for me to do something about it...

Unable to comment on KEH as I am in the UK but to endorse your findings can only agree that using companies such as KEH are brilliant. I have used MPB here and my experience is exactly the same, so for me personally I will only ever trade to UK retailers and/or specific photography used sellers such as MPB 👍

I've had nothing but problems with them. I'm glad everything went well with you

They offered me $500 for a Hasselblad and two lenses along with a Linhof Technika 4x5, with 2 lenses and a Leica M with three lenses. I took it all home.

I also recently used mpb.com. They didn't budge on the quote. (too low). but I sold to them anyway as I was in a rush to unload it. They were easy and I received payment fast.

Fair prices? LOL, no way in hell! I entered mine and was disgusted by the offer! Selling them on craigslist is making me way more money.

If you have a lot of gear to sell, I have found (from experiences while going to trade-in events with friends) that you may get more for your gear, or if you're looking to simply trade for another camera (used camera) or lens. Then you might get more, but in my experiences trying to trade in gear to places like KEH or B&H, they'll give you one value, and then find a raeson they can't give you the value they quoted you, once you send it in, and usually the value is considerably less. Like the Z6 I ended up trading into Nikon. They quoted me $680 and I sent it it and was given a revised quote of $600. Nikon said it was worth $700 + a $300 bonus trade-in if I bought a Z6 II or Z7 II, so I bought the Z7 II and basically got $1000 off a new Z7 II.

I have sold all my gear in Facebook groups. I've never had a problem shifting it (the longest I waited to sell anything was 2 weeks but it was an L-series and slightly uncommon piece of Canon glass). Mostly, I've advertised in the morning and it's been gone by lunchtime. I will see if the same is true when I part with my beloved X100F to make room for an X-T4 (I need the video capability) in a few weeks.

A very helpful video about KEH Cameras. I have an excellent EOS Canon digital camera and lenses to sell as well as a fine quality 35mm Nikon F2 and lenses and a pristine 2-1/4" sq. camera and lenses which I hung on to after getting out of the biz, years ago. I'll give KEH a shot. Thanks for your evaluation.

I sold my film bodies and some old lenses, along with some miscellaneous gear from my Son. There was lots of old stuff. Each piece was examined and fairly priced. It was at a local show sponsored by my Bricks and Mortar store. BONUS was a 10% increase in value if I took the value in a store credit. I bought a new lens, a camera bag, and a 5 in one reflector/diffuser and a dual battery charger and have $155 left over. My shelves and old bags are empty, And I've got a leg up on my next purchase. The KEH Rep was friendly, knowledgeable to work with and, all in all, made the process fair. I bought my first digital gear from them and everything was far better than the condition indication made me think it would be. KEH is a real credit to our industry, really!

I’ve bought and sold gear on mpb.com. Their process is much the same as keh. When they say “like new”, it’s like new at a very competitive price. Highly recommended!

I once sold a batch of things to an American company who came to my local camera store. Not sure of who they were any longer but it was great. I got less than what I could have made if selling privately but like you, I didn’t want that hassle. I was perfectly happy, I took a credit to the store they were working with and I got other gear with it. What could be easier?

I buy and sell from keh and I like the grading system when you buy from them. I felt one item I sold the price they quoted was a little low but the gear I sold was older so I didn’t have a fit over it. Never tried another site I am happy with them unless things radically change in how they do business.

You said you love gear have you thought about giving your thoughts on the Canon ESO R5 to be released later this year. in my personal view, this could take a toll on Nikon, Sony and the others

Much like you prior to this, my gear sits on my shelf and I have WAY too much of it.

Add me to the list of those who recommend KEH (and B&H) highly. I've done a lot of business with both, though I've only sold gear through KEH. I have nothing but good things to say about their process. You're dealing with a reputable business, which eliminates the potential sketchiness of trying to do business with a random person through eBay or wherever. Much preferable.

I have had similar wonderful experiences using Adorama. Similar process as KEH.

One other option that I have found useful is a local Craig’s List. Last year I successfully sold my Nikon D5200 with kit lens and then sold four other Nikon DX lenses to separate individuals for decent prices in order to help cover a new Nikon Z6 and four FX lenses. There are security issues with dealing directly with buyers, but I live in a medium size population area and had only successful cash transactions with really nice people. Some of the transactions occurred at a local McDonalds to mitigate risk by meeting in public.

Sell cameras? I have my grandfathers box camera, fathers cameras, our cameras as children, and all those through to the Z6. Yes, I should get rid of some and yes, I probably never will.

I sold a Nikon D200, a bunch of lenses, flashes, and camera bag on e-bay. Took a few weeks. Everything was smooth. Lesson I learned- camera gear has incredible depreciation. Hard to justify owning photo equipment more than a year given the depreciation.

Please provide us a video for what we do when we sell on keh? How we ship how we use slip all about everything if possible please provide us a guide

Often KEH will appear at our local camera store and buy our equipment and immediately receive a check. You must live in a remote place?

How about the other end for buying used gear?

The issue I have with online used retailers is "the item shown is not necessarily what's purchased/shipped." Too risky.

I sold a few things to KEH a couple of years ago. It was fast and easy. I could have got more selling it on ebay but they have to make money too. I have sold stuff on ebay and it can be a hassle. It is a fast way to sell your stuff though they will likely grade it lower than you think. They come to Charlotte twice a year at a local camera shop and that is how I did it. I took my stuff in person

I've used Craigslist extensively with very good results. When selling you do have to watch out for scammers. I've also used FB Marketplace with great results. Great video, I will be using KEH in the future.

I use mpb.com, great experiences. I can highly recommend them. I might check out KEH next time. WARNING: NEVER sell high end camera equipment on EBay. You will be ripped off. The buyer will ALWAYS say the item is "not as described". The idea is to get a partial refund, basically extorting money from you. Or the buyer can use your equipment as a free rental, shipping included. Ebay will not support you as a seller. In fact they will issue the refund even if you say no refunds accepted in the description and/or you have solid proof (the photo's included in the advertisement ) the buyer is wrong. "Not as described" is the catch phrase the the scam artist use, EBay backs them 100%. And worse yet NO MATTER WHAT THE CONDITION THE ITEM IS RETURNED IN or even if the buyer sends back an empty box (as long as there is a tracking number your screwed). The buyer can take a hammer and smash it to pieces, send it back and you will still be responsible for the refund AND the shipping. Sorry if this bad, but be especially weary if they have a New York address. Ask me how i know......

I never dealt with KEH I did see their website... I’ve sold things and purchased items from B and H in New York sounds identical process . I never had a problem ever they are Awesome!!!

Getting rid of old photography gear is pretty easy. I don’t have a lot of stuff to begin with but do change my gear over every several years as technology changes. I amortise my gear by 20% per annum. So if you’ve had a film camera for fifteen years, though loved, it is basically worthless, to the bin. I have bought some new cameras for my wife but she also gets “hand-me-downs”; still useful high quality cameras that may be a little dated. Other cameras I’ve given to young people at the church as a full kit, camera bag, UV(O) filter, cables and cords and a photography book as an educational item for them. In each and every case from the bin to family, to the kids of friends that equipment is always joyfully received. That’s my system anyway.

They're literally offering me $7 for my camera....

I do the same and I love my gear. Currently I purchased a Nikon D700 mint, D200 mint (both have less than 10k SA) I also have a D610 (purchased from new) and a D7200. I have just sold my Fuji XT2 (as I didn’t really like the mirrorless) to purchase a new Canon 6D as I believe from what I’ve heard , it’s a bit of a legend from image output. Not all the bells and whistles like modern cameras , but still an excellent camera. I know you have done a review of the 6D Mark 1 , what’s your opinion of that camera? Thanks 🙏

I've sold a couple of things through KEH and always felt they were honest, professional and reasonable.

I've have had a better experience using MPB. KEH has always lowered at least one item I've sent them and MPB has even raised my rating a time or two. I think that's pretty commendable on their part.

I have always used mpb.com which is based in Britain but, I think it is now going international. Sounds exactly the same service. I have to say I have sold a lot of stuff and they have never downgraded my evaluation and always given me what they quoted. Mostly what I do when i want to try out a different system is I buy basic end used stuff from mpb to use for a few months then sell it back to them buying top end used (or new) stuff in an upgrade or deciding to try a different system instead. Problem with gear reviews is they rarely cover all the stuff i want reviewed (new features are stuff I turn off) and the only way I know to evaluate stuff is to buy it. I guess I am treating the service as a rental system where I own the stuff while under review. About time I prepared another parcel I think, I have some Nikon G lenses to get rid of as I am only keeping AF-D stuff having switched to Panasonioc and Sony. Yeh mpb must make a fortune out of me I just got rid of a Leica kit - winks

Bait and switch. They offer more than others on their site, but then lowball you once they get the gears, figuring you won't want the stuff back. Got all my gear back, sent it to another dealer and got the actual quoted price. Seller beware.

I’ve used it and KEH is satisfactory.

I have bought and sold gear from mpb.com and Wex Photovideo in the UK, and I can heartily recommend both.

Hey, I am planning to buy a canon 70-200 f4 is version from keh. What I'm worried about is that I'm from India and will I be getting a reliable Lens. If I don't it would be a hassle to return it. Also I don't know much about the customs fees I have to pay

Selling recent gear to KEH is okay. Selling vintage or specialty camera equipment to KEH is generally a bad idea in my experience. I deal in mostly 4x5 large format equipment and KEH almost always undervalues the items by 20-30%. Although selling on Ebay is a hassle with crazy buyers and sellers fees, shipping, PayPal fees, etc...I almost always get a what my items are actually worth. Selling a Sony A7rIII to KEH? go for it. Selling a Nikkor 90mm f8 large format lens? I'd take a hard pass on KEH.

I proposed a Polaroid SX-70 Alpha 1 in very good condition with a case in very good condition as well. Their quote was 75$ which is quite insulting.

I've had that problem before (not selling gear that I said I was going to) but these days, when I want a new piece of gear, and especially if it's upgrading something, I tell myself I have to sell something to get something. So when I bought my Z7 II, I sold my Z6 (I had a Z7 and sort of wanted two cameras that had the same resolution, but didn't make sense to buy a second Z7 gen 1 body, so I traded my Z6 in during one of the promos NIkon had to get the Z7 II, which saved me about $1000). Of course if I'm buying something new (like a new lens) and I Don't have anything else I can "trade in" or sell, then I just buy and that's it. But I also don't go crazy about camera bodies. For example, now that the Z7 II has pretty much the same features as my D750 and all the other cameras I've owned (mainly, a grip option, dual card slots) I'm set. I don't foresee myself buying another camera for quite some time. I have the Z7 as a backup, and two other cameras for more specific purposes (a DSLR for wildlife, and a Fuji for street/urbex). But my primary system is the Z system. I would rather spend more money on lenses, and trips, than camera bodies. I figure a camera body is good for at least 5 years and probably more like 7 or 8 if you're not doing professional shooting and always needing the latest technology (I'm not, this is just a hobby). But lenses last a lot longer and I've seen people shoot with the same lenses for 10-15+ years. So I'd rather put my money into lenses than bodies so I just don't buy a lot of camear bodies. The bodies I have to day are going to be my kit for a while (like the next 5 years). I've reached a point where I'd rather spend less on gear now (now that I have a decent kit that covers many FLs and is suitable for a number of genres of photography) that I'd like to travel and experience things, rather than amass more gear. As I always tell people, gear will come and go, but the memories, experiences and photographs you get from trips and vacations, those will stick with you forever. So I've weened myself off of gear. The only time I might buy a new body is if the old body is damaged and it's not financially feasible to repair it or doesn't make sense to (for example, a body that's 8 years old that's only worth $500, needing a $300 shutter).

Keh rated my items "ugly" when B&H then rated them at 9+... I've bought stuff from Keh, but they under-rate, great for buyers, weak for sellers. I sell at B&H or FredMiranda's Buy & Sell forum.

What did you sell?

Mpb.com provided me a higher price than KEH for lenses and Nikon bodies and was very easy to use.

How long did it take for your equipment to get to Keh when you sent it? I’m kind of worried about mine because it’s not showing anything when I try to track my package 📦

I bought my D810 thru KEH. Initially, I was over-the-moon when I checked the shutter count and found 24K. Then I tried to tether and that didn't work. The micro B port didn't work. I sent the camera back and asked for an exchange. The 2nd D810 had 125K shutter actuation's. I wasn't so thrilled. I don't believe KEH thoroughly checks the camera's they buy. That's good for the seller but bad for the buyer. At least, I believe that's what happened in my case.

The lens is almost as much as a d850😮 And they were selling a p1000 for 760 seems too good

I said it on Matt Granger's video and I will say it hear, after seeing a few of you guys recommend KEH I called them and got the most ludicrous and insulting quote ever on a camera body I was thinking of selling. I'm going to call them again today just for the hell of it to see what I get this time.

I got an 18mm f2 with an xpro 1, locally for $350 .... I wanted to ditch the lens and didn't care about how much KEH offered me. The original quote was $90. After the evaluation it was $180. Sold! Got an xpro 1 for a final price of $170! I've purchased from them in the past and their grading is very generous for buyers. I typically purchase bargain grade products and they've all been in very good condition.

I have bought and sold items from Ebay. My friend sold his camera on ebay. It was a Canon 5dmkII w lens. I know the camera stores have to make a profit. He would have gotten a little. But he got a large amount. I got a Nikon D 7500 for $450.00 I still have my Nikon D 7100 lens too many. But I have used E bay alot.

Well, planning to sell our old and beloved gear is always a temptation... But it's to hard to say goodbye to Nikon D50! And many others...

how much kickback did you get from KEH for making this video?

I liked your video and thought it was time to sell some of my gear.. They offered marginally reasonable amounts on 2 Leica M bodies... That being said I accepted their offers and they said the check is in the mail... 5 weeks later the check is still in the mail.... I cant seem to either get an answer on the phone and emails get a canned reply of out of office... 5 weeks and still waiting... Not sure how I feel or ?????

One alternative that I didn’t think about originally is checking with your local camera shop and see if they do consignment. You tell them what you want to sell it for they throw it in the display and take 30% of what it sells for. If you doesn’t sell or you don’t like the offers you just get your gear back.

I never sell my gears. I never buy what I do not use. I buy only what I need and like. Hence, all my gears are sacred and have sentimental values like reminders where, when and what was I when I acquired them beginning with my Kodak Instamatic 126 film camera.

Everyone wants a company that will buy gear paying generously but sell gear at great prices, ha.

If we sell outside the country like from India what will be the process

,Thanks I think I will try KEH, have you ever purchase any gear from KEH I am hesitant.

KEH has always low-balled me. I've had a far superior experience with Adorama.

mpb.com in the UK I find excellent--so easy and quick

I decided to buy a used lense from KEH for the first time in my life. I got it and the autofocus doesn't work. I had to wait 45 minutes on the line to get it returned. Bad experience and will never use them again

For me, personally, I sell my gear on ebay. It probably can be sold at a higher price, but the process is definitely a pain. Deal with all the scam, the 10% commission ebay takes. I would highly recommend purchasing on KEH though.

I've had nothing but headaches trying to sell tech or camera equipment on eBay or Facebook Marketplace because people will haggle you to death and never give you what you or asking for for the gear. Much prefer reseller sights.

This is so obviously a promo.

Why you not involved photography any more You are one of my favorite teacher oh sad

naw.. KEH is what it is but I sold a few bodys early last year to upgrade to a D850. I got around double what they offered just placing on Facebook. Naturally I took the precautions of meeting in my bank ( safe zone ). And of course got stood up a couple of times, my bank is 3 minutes away so no big deal and well worth getting $1,030.00 more for my gear

I had these quotes for a mint (unused) Panasonic 100-400 - KEH $640 B&H $750 MPB $780 go figure.

You didn’t sell it to them, you gave it a away with the prices they( all used camera companies) offer. I’ve bought a few older DSLR’s for grandchildren from MPB.com and they’ve been in better shape than described. Listed a Nikon D50 as VG condition and it was mint in my book. Same with a couple D40’s. Great company. Never bought from KEH but have heard good things about them.

Mpb and KEH offered me about 30% less than EBay average selling prices so I tried EBay. I sold over 8k in camera bodies and lenses and only had one issue with someone that had buyers remorse on a D750 which was too complicated for them. They returned it and I quickly resold it. I have had zero other issues and think Ebay gets a bad rap from the community. My favorite place to buy equipment is fredmiranda.com as it's a photographer's exchange without any fees. It's hard to get a seller's account and takes time so I have not sold there. I also purchased from mpb and had great luck

I've bought gear from KEH in the past and always found their gear to be at least as good, if not better, than the rating. But, these days, I buy and sell my gear on FM.

I prefer Roberts camera

My old gear is in my closet. Most of it is to old to be worth anything.

I have both bought and sold with KEH and it has always been smooth. At first I was "disappointed" that the value of my "treasures" was less than the prices I saw on Ebay. But Ebay is fraught with risk from bad actors who buy gear and then complain there is a "fault" with it. It is not worth it. Same goes from buying. The conditions KEH says the gear is in is correct and they offer a very clear return policy. They are the BEST
