What do you think about KEH or Adorama Used?)<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;if the seller is reliable. Most of the second-hand web sites have a rating system to know if their sellers have previously satisfied their customers. A good rating and\/or many satisfied customers is a god safety net for you. Beware of accounts hacked by a third party: An account which did not move for a long time and starts selling expensive photo gear out of nowhere.<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;if the seller offers a free return condition if you are not 100% satisfied.<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;if the camera, the lens is in good shape (precise photos are critical and must describe the real object, not Nikon, Canon or Pentax official photos).<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;if the object is not naturally subject to time degradation. For example, photo film has a &#8220;use before&#8221; date. But this is also true of some cameras whose leather-like covering will unglue itself in time, and some Canon zooms are known for a really high failure rate of the IS system, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With these tips, you are now ready for second-hand gear and for purchasing expensive gear at a very low price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>photo credit: EvelynGiggles &#8230;if the price difference with New is really large enough (don&#8217;t forget that in most countries and in Europe importing photo gear from outside requires to pay VAT and a few % of custom duties): Buy New if the difference is small, you&#8217;ll also get a manufacturer warranty. &#8230;if the selling web [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11176,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[144],"tags":[155,458],"class_list":["post-10859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-vintage-2nd-hand","tag-tips","tag-y-tips"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10859","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10859"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10859\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10859"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10859"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
