Question about selling to KEH

I have been meaning to consolidate my lenses and get rid of old film bodies. I have a bunch of nice used Pentaxes from c. 1980 to 1990-ish, K1000, ME, ME Super, KM. Two I bought, one I "inherited," another I was given. All were ones I used then, not things I’ve collected since.

But the fact is I won’t go back to them, and thought I might roll the money into some more nice primes for the DSLRs than the K, M, and A ones I have (which I got/used with those bodies). So, I’ve been trying to pay attention to the review prices, get a feel. The other day I saw a poster mention selling to KEH, a place I was unfamiliar with. I looked up some prices there for their used purchase prices and was shocked. Many of their prices suggested for the grades of lenses/bodies I have were much more than I thought. Are those accurate reflections of what they pay for working items in the conditions listed? It would be awfully convenient to mail everything to them. But also, if the marketplace yields similar prices, it might be more sporting to pass it along to other forum members directly instead.

I would like to know how KEH operates and also any pointers about getting rid of multiple bodies/lenses.

Having been a film boy many moons ago but only recently jumped into digital SLRs recently, ive been getting up to speed with all the recent developments etc.

Ive also picked up a heap of (mostly) used lenses including the FA31 ltd, FA77ltd, FA50/1.4, DFA 100 Macro, DA*16-50, DA*50-135, DA 18-250 & Sigma 10-20.

Coming from a film background, I was never a pixel peeper, but with the new levels of resolution i also want to make sure that all of these lenses are in good nick and doing what they should do, especially with some of the QA issues regularly discussed with the 16-50 and 10-20 as examples.

So Ive downloaded and printed some focus charts and instructions, but does anyone have any other tips about what to look out for or other ‘real world’ things to put em through their paces? Can any back focus/front focus be adjusted in-body with my K7 if anything is picked up?

I really dont want to do this more than once or have to send anything off for adjustment (especially as they arent in warranty here) – i’d rather just know they work fine and get on with taking photos rather than endlessly analysing the results!
