Fotofile is one of the larger camera stores which sell both new and used cameras (www.fotofile.net). Fotofile has several locations and lists used inventory on their website; however, the list is not always complete or up to date. Cappa photo at the Fortune Town shopping center also sells some used gear.

Generally, I have seen used Nikon, Canon and Leica gear around town. Unfortunately, Hong Kong is probably your best bet for used Olympus, Minolta and Pentax gear. Some of the shops in BKK sell used gear they get from Hong Kong. Tin Cheung (www.tincheung.com) a shop located in Kowloon carries a lot of used gear include those brands you mentioned. Their are other reputable used shops Hong Kong, but I can't remember their names.

Good luck.
