KEH Camera doubles warranty from 180 to 365 days until 12/31/18

I haven’t mentioned this yet this year, so it’s a good time to mention it 🙂 Good until 12/31/18, KEH Camera is doubling their warranty from their usual 180 days to 365 days. This is a pretty good warranty duration for a USED product, in many times matching a new condition product. And KEH is a reliable place for fixing cameras to boot.

Only products that were previously eligible for a 180-day warranty are getting the 365-day warranty. Products that are “AS IS” are/were not eligible for any warranty. Products in conditions between “BGN” (bargain) and “LN” (Like New”) ARE eligible for the warranty. Details at the Warranty page…

This happens automatically. There is no coupon code to enter. You are simply eligible for it based on the date of your purchase…

I don’t remember when this promotion began for the 2018 holiday shopping season. If you made a purchase before today that happened during the 365-day warranty window, you automatically get the 365-day warranty.
