“Very professional and transparent with pricing. What they paid was usually equal or better than estimate. I felt safe having them handle my transaction!”
“MPB has made trading in lenses mixed with fast shipping an excellent service to purchase camera equipment from. I strongly recommend and will continue my camera lens exploration through them and then only!”
“Easy to trade in, and easy to shop. You see your exact piece of gear you're buying. Customer service is helpful and informative, shipping is easy. Love it. I've worked with them a few times now and keep coming back each time I have to change kit.”
“This is my third or fourth time buying and trading, and they are excellent to deal with. Trade turnaround and shipping is quick, pricing is outstanding, and gear in excellent condition had unsurpassed quality. Phone personnel are courteous and knowledgeable, helpful in deciding what you want without being pushy. I will always be dealing with MPB.”
“I made a trade and the process was so easy and convenient from start to finish, I will definitely be doing business with them next time I need more camera gear!!”
“I've exchanged gear with MPB several times. My latest upgrade was just as great as the previous exchanges. I was looking for a better ballhead to put on my new tripod and wanted to get a better wide angle lens for night photography of the Milky Way. After some researching of their inventory, I found two items that were in great shape that fit exactly what I was looking for. I had an EF 20mm 1.4 ii lens that I traded in against the items I wanted. They gave me an estimated value, which I thought was fair (it was in excellent shape). But when they received the lens, they upgraded the appraisal slightly. That is a different level of honesty and integrity than you find in many businesses today. And that isn't the first time MPB has done this for me. If I am not sure of an item's status, I will appraise it lower/conservatively. I am confident that MPB will treat me fairly when they appraise the item.”
“MPN's streamlined process for selling and trading equipment is the best I have used. List what you want to sell and what you would like to purchase and a quote is sent in a matter of minutes. I researched my equipment's resale value and MPB was spot on. MPD actually gave me more for my equipment when they received and inspected it. The equipment I traded/purchased was just as described and works perfectly. I have a few more items to sell and I am definitely using MPB again. Thanks!”
“MPB was fair and added to the quote for items I sent in but did not include in the original quote. They also upgraded an item. I have used them before to sell, buy and trade items and will continue to do so in the future. I highly recommend them.”
“"I’ve traded gear with both Adorama and B&H, and while the initial process is similar—listing your gear, getting an estimate, and receiving a shipping label—MPB stands out by being significantly more transparent about their valuation criteria.
My experience with them was exceptional. Not only did they honor the process, but they actually increased my final payout above the initial quote. Their integrity is refreshing; rather than looking for minor issues to downgrade the value, they provided a fair, honest evaluation. This professionalism allowed me to seamlessly upgrade to the Sony A1, which arrived in excellent condition.
I highly recommend MPB over the other major retailers. If you want a no-haggle experience with fair, reliable payouts, this is the way to go."”
“Very easy process. The only thing (and I may have missed this) was the trade in price dropped by $30 due to no lens hood. I have the hood but didn’t realize it was in the price.”
“Extremely easy process and fair prices on my old gear. Was able to upgrade my system with equipment that sat idle for several years. Couldn’t be happier with the whole experience.”
