As previous years, they may offer 365-day warranty instead of 180-day warranty.
Tbh if youre hunting for lenses, its worth comparing KEH with Adorama Used gear and even Amazon Warehouse. KEH is usually my go-to because their grading is super conservative—a 'Bargain' lens often looks almost new. Adorama can have BIGGER price drops during Cyber Monday, but their rating system is a bit more subjective compared to KEH. Amazon is a total wild card; you can find insane steals, but the packaging is usually trashed and you dont always know exactly what youre getting. Anyway, I usually stick with KEH just for the peace of mind during the holiday rush.
Just check their official website, they will release sales ahead of Black Friday/Cyber Monday. And warranty will extend to 360-days.
I got a used Nikon Z8 last week at KEH at a very low price.
KEH's great! Got a Canon lens last year; saved ~$200. Inspect it thoroughly upon arrival, though!
KEH's lens grading is generally accurate. Instead of BF, consider a used Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM. Optically solid, expect ~ $325. MTF charts confirm sharpness.
Instead of chasing KEH's specific deals, scope out eBay. Often better value if you're patient. I'd suggest setting saved searches and alerts for lenses fitting your budget. Factor in potential repair costs; a $400 lens needing CLA might exceed your $500 limit. Be careful of 'bargain' optics; test thoroughly upon arrival.
KEH's OK, but compare to MPB. B&H often has similar used lens deals, research both!
