    As a frequent buyer and seller of used equipment, I've found that KEH.COM is the most fair. You will still get a better sale if you do it privately through EBay and the site that I like the most, Rob Galbraith forums market place, but it now cost $35/year to post on the site.

    Adorama and BH Photo have given me quotes that I thought were obscene and cheap.

    This site also provides classifieds that are no charge.

    In no particular order:

    KEH (www.keh.com )
    Adorama ( www.adorama.com
    B&H ( www.bhphotovideo.com)

    Adorama has an ebay presence.
    There is an ebay seller (heard more good than bad) Shutterblade.

    These sellers offer 'realistic' ratings of the equipment and some equipment has warranty (30 days - 6months).

    I agree 100% with Loren.......I've purchased and sold equipment through KEH. They have been selling new and used cameras, lenses and accessories for years. They are honest, their customer service is excellent and they have a 14 day return policy on used equipment along with a 90 day warranty.

    Jotp,

    I agree with the others about KEH, B&H, and Adorama. Take a look at the FAQ's in the "Welcome" thread at the top of this forum for a longer discussion on online retailers, and check out the forum dedicated just to dealer reviews.

    Good luck!
