I find this very disturbing. You have a right to know exactly
what you are paying for. I have never heard of a reputable dealer
in used deluxe goods not making full disclosure of what they are
selling and its condition. For many items that means several
photos. I am assuming these are not cheap. Certainly you should
have a right of return but the dealer would be saving his own
money by giving you as much information as possible to begin
with. Otherwise you are buying a pig in a poke (meaning something
in a bag so you can't see it). Even people on eBay post photos of
what they are selling and its considered a violation of ethics to
post a picture of some other item. I don't care how honest and
reliable KEH has been in the past, this would be enough for me to
find another source. Maybe I am over reacting to this but I think
not.

Well if they are selling it, they should know what they are selling. I had already read camera quest. Yet if you don't know what you are buying, its hard to know what you are getting. No serial number to try to trace. Technikas in the model III had five different versions. I bought not knowing whether I got a one or a five. Do I expect to be cheated? No. I do expect them to know what is different from this camera they are selling vs that camera they are selling, even if its as old as I am. It should all be on their website, and it should include a picture of the actual product. That is something KEH has never done. If you buy a camera that is 10 years old or 70 years old, the picture you see on the site is not the product they are selling. They are very up front about that, but in the age of digital photography, its not an unreasonable expectation to see what you are buying.Richard Knoppow
