It looked plain and worked great. It wasn't broke so they had to fix it. Now it looks nice and is functionally almost unusable. Progress.

Hi Roger I noticed that you live near Atlanta and just wondered if you had ever been by their physical location or do they have a showroom where you can go in.
It is my understanding that you cannot go to KEH and buy a camera at their location. They are not set up with a store front.

Not exactly. Here's a post of one person's experience a few months ago. He was dropping off gear to sell and yes, there is no showroom but he indicated you can buy online and come pick up in person:

What I've found with Roberts/Usedphotopro is that you have to read the description very carefully, as opposed to relying on the overall rating (good, vg, exc). I've seen lenses listing as "very good" where the description including "light hazing" of the front and rear elements. Another lens listed as "good" included "Heavy haze on internal elements. Light fungus on rear element." in the description.
So, as opposed to the conventional wisdom with KEH that their overall ratings are conservative, Usedphotopro's are quite optimistic. But I've been satisfied with a couple of purchases from usedphotopro having read the description carefully.
Also, with respect to lenses, it seems KEH is more strict with condition of the glass than Usedphotopro is.
Third option - they're just not buying as much anymore (in part because they're geting chintzy with the prices they offer to sellers). I took some stuff to them a couple years ago at a camera swap meet and they refused some of it and the other things they offered me prices so low they were offensive.
Last year I left my F100 in the car in a restaurant parking lot and my daughter asked if I was worried that it might get stolen and I told her I worry about the thief getting mad when he realizes it's a film camera and bashes in my windshield with it.

This. I tried selling my 50mm Mamiya 6 lens through their online quote calculation. What a joke. The lens is near mint and I was quoted at $400. Get real. They would turn around and sell it for $800-900.
