I've bought quite a bit from KEH - obviously I've had good experiences to keep buying from them. I sold/traded in an item once too.

I was thinking Borrowlenses got bought out so looked at their site, apparently it was by Shutterfly. Their info. says you have 10 days to return a used item, or up to 4 weeks to return for a refund minus rental fees. I'd read everything carefully to be sure what their terms are before buying from them.

I'd go with KEH, you get a 6 month warranty from them.

I use both of these companies and believe both bring something completely different to the table.  Buying used, I'm always going to go with the longer warranty.

KEH for me. Just because of their warranty if nothing else. I have yet to get a dog from KEH with used glass, and it has always been better than I expected for one graded at BGN.
