You may want to consider buying from keh.com. They are in Smyrna and sell very good used equipment that will save $$$ and allow local pickup as well. They have a very good reputation on these forums and their stuff comes with a 180 day warranty as well.

The downside with KEH (and I have experience with them) is that they do NOT list a cameras shutter count and refuse to do so. A few years ago I bought a used D7000 from them which they listed as excellent. It looked ok, but not excellent, and had 48,000 clicks on it. I sent it back. I've moved to MPB for any used camera or lens and with my two dslr camera purchases with listed shutter count, they have been perfect. Buying a used camera without knowing shutter count is like buying a used car and not knowing the mileage.
