Brant;

It's interesting that you would say that about Adorama. I had a very similar experience regarding the initial quote being much higher than the final quote. I ended up just settling for what they offered though since I was in a hurry and didn't particularly want to go through the additional hassle of having them return the camera to me and then having to sell/trade it somewhere else. Since I had the same confusion over the original quoted price vs actual offer makes me think that this is part of their M.O. and they always operate this way.

Again, I was not dissatisfied overall with my experience (I had other issues with the purchase of my 5d3 but they did everything they could to make it right) but it is just something to consider if calling Adorama for a quote on selling used gear. Make sure it is very clear up front on what is being offered.
