Mark, have you tried that? Just for kicks, I went through the sell your gear process for an EF 135mm f/2L (not the EF-S 10-22mm, since they don't currently have one for sale). The quoted price to sell a 135L in EX+ condition to KEH was $465. That is an absolutely rotten idea on price - way, way undervalued. KEH sells that lens in that condition for $919 (nice markup for them!). They usually sell for $800-900, give or take, on FM. So, KEH's selling price is a lot closer to a good idea on price than their buying price!


Even though KEH is a used camera gear dealer, their pricing structure seems more like a new car dealership - generally reliable, good customer service, fair prices but a little high when you buy a used item from them, really high prices when you buy a new item from them, and they give you a raw deal when you sell them a used item. Unlike car dealerships, I don't think they do trade-ins (I could be wrong), which is the only way to get a better price when you sell the dealership your used vehicle.


Just my 2¢.

One more suggestion, depending on how urgently you want to sell the 10-22mm lens. Currently, there's a Canon instant rebate on that lens (among others), which reduces the price of a new copy of the 10-22mm by $50. When rebates are available, prices on used lenses tend to drop accordingly, or it's less likely to sell since the incentive compared to a new lens is less. The current rebates end July 10th.
