I can't help but to notice the deterioration of quality from KEH. they use to be my go-to place for any used gear, always providing great prices and very strict quality control. That latter criterion seems to be slipping recently.
the last three items I bought from KEH i ended up returning based on quality issues. One is a A12 hasselblad magazine listed as EXC+ and came with leather peeling off. Another is a Pentax K10d alst listed as EXC+. Cosmetically the camera was great but the shutter doesn't work and the in camera anti shake is broken. They accepted the returns with no problem, but still the lack of quality check is worrisome. Are mine isolated incidents or have others experienced similar issues? I sincerely hope they fix it soon as I am a strong supporter of the site.
