All the KEH "bargains" I've purchased have been bargains indeed, with one exception.
I sent back a 35mm Summicron because it had chewed up screw heads (had to look at it under a stereo microscope to see the damage; a Leica microscope, strangely enough), which I thought did not bode well for any future CLAs. Back on topic, though... The SMC-F 35-70 I purchased for my wife for use on her ZX-7 has a few barrel blemishes, but is optically and mechanically top notch. It replaces a Tamron paperweight I am embarrased to have purchased with the camera as a birthday gift to her. (Not saying all Tamrons are bad, mind you, but this one much have an element made of molded hot glue!) Never had a problem with KEH.
