KEH offers a good return policy, but their ratings are not as "conservative" as they once were. I have posted my experiences here on Photrio in the past, but people get worked up if you complain about their favorite retailer for some reason. Also, KEH's ratings are based heavily on cosmetics, not functionality. You can buy a "Good" condition item that does't even work. Just call them and ask.
Yeah I’ve heard those stories too and don’t doubt them. My experiences with KEH and Roberts have been very good but there’s always room for improvement.
Well, I'd say "buy carefully" but otherwise, yep! I really don't think demand is going to dry up, and the supply is limited. If you've ever wanted a particular piece of kit, and can still afford it, the time is now.
I just paid $135 for a Yashica 635... well $164 when you add stupid taxes and $15 worth of shipping. I can't believe I did it, but I did. It's my favorite TLR, and this on had the better Yashinon 4 element lens.
even the 124G can be found for reasonable prices. I got mine on the classifieds here less than a year ago for $120, in great shape. I should sell it, as I've found I don't take well to TLRs for whatever reason.
