"Communication was quick and clear. No BS.
The quote for my like-new Fujifilm X camera and lens kit was a good deal better than what B&H and KEH offered. Adorama's used department never even provided me with a quote.
Prepaid shipping to MPB. Immediate acknowledgement of receipt of my gear, and of their time frame to inspect it.
Quick confirmation of acceptance of my gear, and of the amount to be paid to me. This plus a direct link to a webpage for me to securely enter my bank information.
The payment showed up in my bank the next day.
Couldn't ask for more."
"They evaluated my camera quickly and gave me a fair price. In addition they sent payment very quickly"
"I was pretty amazed that I was going to get more for my Nikon D7000 than the quote. As BobNewby stated, MPB offered the most for my used gear. When I upgraded to my new/used camera, the process was straight forward and quick. I'll be buying from MPB in the future."
"I have bought and sold Fuji items (cameras, lenses) with them. The items I bought were in excellent condition and promptly shipped. The items I sold were appraised and paid quickly.
MBP is a blessing for photographers!"
"I came across, MPB couple of years ago while i was trying to upgrade from Nikon F mount to Nikon Z mount via trade in.
Prices offered were competitive or more depending on gear compared to their competitors.
Selecting and submitting request for selling my gear was completely automated and to be honest with you, i was slightly nervous due to lack of human interaction but i'd to move on from gear.
I'm more of "underrating myself and my gear" kind of guy and i was very conservative in labeling my gear, to my pleasant surprise, they informed me that my gear is in better condition than reported by me. They automatically provided additional money offered for my approval.
2 year down the line, i decided to upgrade from Nikon Z mount to Hasselblad X and this time, i was buying gear as trade in (instead of just selling like first time.) I'm yet to receive gear and i'll be checking and updating review but gear i traded in from me (again reported in conservative style) was rated better and given additional compensation.
Now i'm not going to waste any time in comparing prices anymore. Time is money and MPB has proven to be trusted twice. (in recent times and in current world where "fair" is rare)
I hope i don't have to change mount anytime soon but i'll be keeping eye for camera i'm looking for. "
"The online quote system made it so easy to determine how much I can get for my gear. I indicated the product name and condition, and I immediately saw how much MPB will pay for my gear. Then MPB sent me a FedEx shipping label and I packaged up my gear to take to my local FedEx location. Several days after my gear arrived at MPB's offices, I received an email from MPB asking if I wanted a paper check to be mailed or electronic payment to my bank account. Couldn't be easier.... I'm super happy with the overall experience and will be selling other gear to MPB in the future."
"I wish I'd known about mpb.com sooner. I bought my daughter a camera for Christmas, but the lens that arrived was no good. I came across mpb.com while looking for a replacement lens, less than a week before Christmas, resigned to the fact that it wouldn't arrive in time. They had a great selection with good descriptions and reasonable prices.
The lens was dispatched the same day, arrived as described, was very well-packaged, and made it in time to go under the tree."
"Browse at MPB, to find any photography/videography gear you need!
They take pictures of the ACTUAL item you will receive. No more guessing by stock photos, and confusing rating systems. What you see is what you get! "
"The excellent condition of your cameras and lenses. And your wonderful return system!!!"
"I needed an upgrade for my lens, but i didn’t want to keep the one i didn’t use. mbp gave me everything i needed. Buying many old lenses and selling me my new one for a good price. I already recommended this to a friend who instantly made a purchase and was pleased with the products he received. "
"Ordering is a breeze and they almost always have the gear in looking for."
"The gear arrived as advertised. I like it that the photos represent the items that you are receiving. I use MPB for lenses because there is less likelihood for a lemon when buying a used lens, if the reseller is honest. I may try MPB for other gear as well. "
"Easy to order. Item was exactly as described. There was a discrepancy with what they actually had and what was on hand however that was clearly communicated to me before the item was shipped. Would definitely recommend. "
"I am a Pentax owner in the US. equipment is not easy to find here, and pricing is a bit inflated it seems. I found mpb in random search threads, but now have it saved at the top of my "go to" list when shopping for photo accesories!
great inventory, straight up representation, pricing more than fair, and everything arrived exactly as advertised.
Don't pass up the opportunity to shop and compare with them before you buy anywhere else!"
"Best price I found, was in like new condition. In original packaging with all accessories as advertised. Delivered promptly, and packaged perfectly. Can not ask for better service."
"Easy purchase. Love my new camera. Will definitely be purchasing lenses for my new camera from mpb. Thank you."
