Oh, I thought you need to send your camera to them to get accurate $$ amount?

If you overstate the condition, they will contact you with a real offer after you send it to them and they look it over. I'm not far from KEH so I can visit. I've never had them say my gear was in worse condition than I have stated and in some instances they have graded my gear higher than I had stated. You will get about 50 to 60% of what they sell the gear for on their site.

:agree:   

I buy from MPB and KEH, and would recommend them all day long.  But would suggest you sell privately to maximize $$$ into your pocket for your gear.

I've done well with KEH (probably buying more than selling!). I've found them to be trustworthy.

MPB is a company in Brighton in the UK. They apparently rent office space in the US.
