I've purchased several items from KEH over the years and have always felt that the items they sent me were in better shape than their ratings would have implied. Conversely I just sold them a very slightly used K-10 which was absolutely pristine with very low shutter usage along with the original box and all the contents as new and they downgraded it simply because it was in fact used.
