Purchasing Refurbished Amazon

[fair tomorrow]

So im looking to purchase another 6d for my wife... now i was looking on amazon and wondering if anyone can tell me which seller has a great reputation. if anyone has experience of purchasing factory refurbished cameras from amazon sellers it would be much help. take a look at a few of the sellers on amazon site under 6d refurbished. im currently looking at two sellers abr trading, and baez inc. since they claim the camera are factory refurbished with 1 year warranty they seem legit. I will appreciate any help or suggestions.

I can't find the deals you mentioned, a link might help.

Here is what I found.

A New one is the same price or less and has some freebies.

I see the two listings you mentioned. The ABR Trading listing says that the box is sealed by Canon, whereas Baez said it was sealed and they opened it. Of the two, I would personally take the sealed box. If these resellers are legitimate, they probably just bought them directly from Canon's refurbished website during a good sale, and then they are reselling them on Amazon at a markup. I don't know if Canon's warranty would transfer to you as a result of it being resold - my guess is it would not, but that is a guess. I bought my 6D as a Canon refurb sold by B&H. I'm assuming the warranty is valid because B&H is an authorized reseller. These guys are almost certainly not.

Personally, I'd buy a new one for $1,399 directly from Amazon, or B&H, or Adorama. The $100 you would save isn't worth the risk to me. If that $100 makes or breaks the purchase for you, then you can't afford the camera regardless.
