Buying lens from KEH.com/sharing of shipping

[Acolyte]

Hi all,

After a search of the various threads on keh.com on cs, there seems to be some discussion on the "downgrading" of their condition rating system, whereby a lens that is used to be rated BGN could be rated Ex- these days. Hence, buying a BGN lens last time could yield a lens in better condition back then than now. Note the post dates are around 2010-2011.

I'm seeking advice from people who have recently bought stuff from there and their experiences with KEH and their rating system.

Also, anybody tried asking them to mark the package as gift/lowered the value?

Lastly, if anybody is interested in getting anything from there can PM me, we can share shipping cost too. I'm looking at getting a couple of nikon MF primes.

Thanks in advance

Will be keen to purchase a lens if you are getting something there. Willing to split shipping.
