“You know how it is....lusting for that "dream lens" that is always out of your monetary "comfort zone." This was me. MPB had my dream lens and at an excellent price but I still couldn't justify the expense. Then, I realized they offered a very tempting trade in program so I gave it a shot. I immediately had two excellent quotes on gear I no longer used. I quickly accepted the offer and mailed in the gear (paid for by MPB!). Within a week of MPB receiving my stuff, they then mailed out my beloved dream lens. The process was easy and fast. Bonus points as the lens I received was "better than described." Could not be any happier! Thank you MPB!”
“I was moving from one camera system to a different one. I had a lot of gear to sell and was buying quite a bit. It was really easy to get the quote, ship out my things, get the gear assessed, and get my new gear. They even said some of my stuff was in better shape than I thought it was.
Also, I wanted to make a change before I hit the submit button to get my new gear, and that was also easy.”
“MPB provides a painless and stress-free trade in process. I had updates along the way as well as clear instructions on how to move the process along each step of the way. I’ll always check MPB before any other retailer.”
“good prices, but take forever and a day to sell them anything. don't be in a hurry to get paid buy them. going to be at least two weeks, or longer.
Any time of year, it will take just as long, I have tried this at least five times.
UPDATE : still didn't get the quote , has been 7 days , 5 business days,,,, will be six tomorrow AND OUTSIDE THE " WINDOW".”
“I would not recommend using these to sell your kit. I got a quote to sell my Nikon, was very happy with it, sent it off. When they got the camera they then offered 50% less than they quoted. I obviously took the camera back. When I got it back, both the battery I sent and the camera case were missing. I complained about this and they said' its in their terms and conditions' - no offer of a replacement or refund to cover me buying the replacement battery or case, just a blank refusal to do anything about it. They have basically stolen from me! It's theft as they have not returned what I sent them, no matter what their excuse. Terrible company. avoid!!!”
“Quick. Handled equipment properly. Easier than bargaining with locals via Craigslist.
What is missing? If a proposed sale is rejected, give sellers the option for the equipment to be parted out or recycled.”
“I love the upfront pricing. The condition of the equipment is great. I have purchased several items in the ‘well used’ category and they still look to be in pretty good cosmetic shape. Functionally, every piece of equipment I’ve ever purchased from MPB works perfectly. Never had an issue.
Also: the trade-in process is easy: I love the immediate price quote on your trade-in Equipment. It’s happened twice now where I sent used Equipment in for trade-in and after they assessed my Equipment’s condition, they actually gave me more than they originally quoted me. They actually do inspect every piece of equipment that comes through their shopand give you a fair price.”
“Over the years I have traded DSLR's, M34's, full frame and compact. The quality of the listed equipment is as expected and I know I can trust the folks at MPB. Keep up the good work!”
“As an imaging professional I need to have absolute trust that a retailer will deliver items at a quality level at or higher than described. MPB does exactly this. I recommend ordering from MPB without hesitation.”
