UPDATE: the KEH website says the coupon expiration date ends 4/30/18. The information I got from the affiliate program says it expires Sat 4/28/18, so YMMV… As of 4/29/18 the promotional banner still shows up on the Kell Sell Your Gear pages…

I had been under the impression this promotion expires 4/30/18 but actually it expires on Saturday 4/28/18 at 11:59pm eastern…

KEH Camera continues their sell-your-own gear promotion: coupon code SYG04A gets you the following bonus options when you Sell Your Own Gear to KEH Camera:
