KEH has been dealing with a freelancer friend of mine (whose wife is in school and he doesn't have a lot of money) in a questionable manner. Watch it if you deal with them. Sounds like the old "bait and switch" again. Here's an excerpt from his story: ================= On the down side...the buyer from KEH cameras called today and told me that he could no longer offer me $600 for the lens...seems that he now says that he was quoting me the price he would pay for "mint" ...I know this is not true because I originally rated the lens at a "7" and he said that would be fine. Now he has changed his tune...he only wants to pay me $400 for it. So I declined. I am really pissed off, but not a lot I can do about it. Guess I should just take it and be glad I got anything at all for it. No one seems to want to pay anything for FD equipment anymore. ========================= Well, I wouldn't want to pay for FD equipment, but when someone is honest about the condition of the equipment, then for them to say they had quoted the "mint" price is really a sad excuse for dealing. So watch out! =========== Eric Welch Grants Pass, OR If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there.
