I have bought a few "bargain" items at Keh, including a couple of lenses and an LX finder, and have always been pleased. Also, keep your eye out for lenses with EX ratings but lower prices because they're identified as having a dented filter ring -- this denting can be relatively slight and innocuous, as it was with the otherwise perfect FA 100 2.8 macro I bought there a while back.
I bought one lens rated "ugly" [a Kiron 105 macro]. It had slight fungus [which Keh's ugly rating permits] and promptly went back. I'd buy a Keh bargain item with confidence [particularly knowing I can return it losing only the cost of shipping] but probably would not buy a Keh "ugly" lens again.
