Buying a used camera body

3 years 5 months ago #705240 by Kelly Lambert
If you buy a used camera body from MPB or KEH, would you happen to know if original manufacturer warranties are available or how can you get warranties?

Original warranties do not transfer. KEH currently has a 1 year warranty through December 31st. After that, it will go back to the standard 6 month warranty.

And, if I'm not mistaken, KEH and MPB's warranties apply regardless if the camera is a domestic or an international version..

A student of mine asked me to buy a lens that she saw at MPB in UK. From
the first contact to follow up, it has been a pleasing professional experience.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Sorry, but KEH customer service isn't what it used to be.  Just saying.

They have had a number of owner changes, which can't help.

Can't you buy extended warranty with KEH or MPB?  I'm pretty sure you can.

I was going to mention the same thing.  Go search "Warranty" on KEH, you can get extended warranties for decent price.

These companies would get so much more business if they kept the warranty at 1 year.  Seems like they go back and forth with 6 month and 12 month warranty.
