How did you ever find it? I can't stand the new KEH site- and it rarely works with my combination of Safari and a very pathetic internet connection.

 

[abenner]

Very carefully!

Agreed, their new site sucks more than their old site, which also sucked.

At least they have a good return policy, so it basically costs you $30 to see the camera. Who knows what BGN means when dealing with something like this. Maybe that means brassy and beautiful.

Surely lower priced but still better in its paint than the one that was just at the clasifieds here!

That's just a generic picture, though--they don't show photos of the actual item.

I called them about it and was told the camera has "serious brassing and should have been graded as UG".

Yeah, I've noticed their rating system has been a little off lately.

a little off? I don't know. I bought 3 lenses rated as ex and turned out to be worse than ugly. One of them has fungus all over it and water stain. Thank god they still have the awesome return policy.

Last week I bought the IIIf black dial mentioned in another thread that was listed as Ex with wrinkled curtains and speeds off.

Condition was better than Ex.

My very recent transaction was good but the purchases from last two months were terrible...
I shop there about 2-3 times a month and the last 2-3 months were the worst

Just purchased an SF-20 from them,

Just purchased an SF-20 from them,

it looks brand new. Albeit it came without the diffuser or manual, something I can live with. (Had a rating of E).

I do wish they could provide actual images of their items for sale.

I got a Hexanon AR 40/1.8 for seven bucks recently that was rated UG. Couple specks of internal dust and missing inspection sticker was all. Also in the same shipment: TC-X body for $10 (meter dead) and AR-TC body for $1.49 (meter dead, foam bad) -- both as advertised, although the AR-TC has shrinking leatherette too (common and expected).

But the kicker was the Pentax ME Super SE for $1.49. Listed as advance inop. Arrived working fine, if not much of a looker. Even counting shipping (per item), the two LR44 batteries cost more than the camera. Can't beat it.

My M4-P w m6 windows was listed as BGN , but was really in much better than BGN , i got a pretty good deal i think.
