[QUOTE="hark, post: 755153, member: 13196"] I've purchased preowned through Allen's Camera (a local family shop that ships to other areas) and B&H. Both have been stellar with their descriptions, and both offer returns for a set amount of time. I tried keh.com a couple times but wound up having issues with 2 different lenses. They offer returns within 30 days, but it did take a little time for those to be processed. Despite the lenses having issues - with one the aperture didn't stop down fully so overexposed images, and the other had a zoom that stuck at a certain spot - they simply put them back on their web site keeping the used ratings really high. I think both were supposed to be the best quality used they rated. However, others here have had great success with keh. Definitely try to stick with a seller that offers a 30-day warranty. With B&H you might be able to purchase an optional extended warranty via Square Trade. That is supposed to help even if items are damaged from being dropped in addition to normal wear and tear.
