“It's the easiest way to get a quote on the gear you want to trade in or sell. You submit it, get a quote, and if you agree, you send it in and get paid or get your trade in. That simple. I got the lens i was looking for by trading in gear and I'm very pleased with how easy it was.”
“Initially by contacting me and then helping me when I had some difficulty completing the online form for entering equipment for potential exchange.
Additionally, the process of sending my exchange equipment, receiving and accepting the MPB evaluation, ordering and receiving some used equipment was both easy and very quick.
Finally, the camera and lens that I bought in exchange was as described and packaged and delivered safely and efficiently.”
“MPB is so easy to do business with. I am sure that if I wanted to deal with all the hassle involved, I might be able to get a few more $ by private sale or on FB Market Place. But if you want an easy transaction and are willing to understand that they pay wholesale and need to be able to make some kind of a profit, then the service they offer is very valuable. I love that they send you a pre-paid shipping lable for FedEx. All I have to do is pack and box and (in my case) take them to the nearby FedEx drop. I have always receive items of the quality described and if you are honest about your own assessment of how you rate the items, you will be happy with them. For my last transaction, I traded/sold several items and MPB actually upgraded my rating, resulting in a higher valuation/payment than I had expected. Nice.”
“I bought a long lens that I had wanted for years but could never afford, a few weeks ago I could so ordered. I had not thought that in the past few years I had developed arthritis in my hands and found that the lens was too heavy for me to use. A conversation via the chat on the website and they send me a returns number and reserved a smaller lens but with the same focal lens for me. Very pleased with the outcome, they couldn’t have been more helpful.”
“I part exchanged some gitemd for a new lens. The whole process was very straight forward. My items were collected by courier on Monday, my quote was finalised on Tuesday. I accepted the quote and my new lens was delivered on Thursday with the excess money in my account the next day. I also had to contact the help centre with a query and it was dealt with quickly.”
“This company was easy and fair to deal with. Seeing a picture of the item you are buying is really helpful and I would deal with them again.
If you have trouble with their website, I did, and get no help from their chatbot, please persevere and ring them, the staff are helpful and pleasant.
Well done you guys, I was extremely pleased with our transaction and will come back with my future needs.”
“I upgraded to what I believe is one of the very best hobbyist cameras, without breaking the bank, by trading in some little used lenses and an substantially older version of the same camera that I have had for some years.”
“I received a fast, accurate quote. Their system ensures both buyer and seller are talking about the same piece of gear. Free shipping of my trade to them could not have been easier, and I actually got a “bump” up on the valuation of one of my items. The lens I traded for was exceptional and at a fair price. Would deal with MPB again in a heartbeat.”
“As usual, the lens arrived in perfect condition. The price was right and the trade value for my older gear was fair. Trading with MPB is a way easier than trying to sell used gear myself.”
“They always have a great selection of equipment for sale at a price that I’m happy to pay. Cameras and lenses are always really well packaged. Recently traded in some old equipment and got a fair price for it, without any issues whatsoever - much easier than trying to sell it privately.”
“I’m recently retired and had a few Nikon lenses sitting around — from a DSLR that no longer worked, and another for a mirrorless camera I bought last year that turned out to be more than I needed. I decided to try selling them through MPB.
I’ll admit, I was a little leery at first since I had no experience trading or selling camera gear. Another company had given me a quote, but their higher offer was only valid if I traded in, not sold outright. MPB, on the other hand, offered a straightforward trade-in process and even gave me cash back, which was deposited promptly into my account.
Their instructions were very clear, and communication by email was excellent throughout. I did have a brief “uh-oh” moment when I got an adjusted quote, but it turned out to be only a $20 reduction because I didn’t have the lens bag. I also didn’t have the original boxes or paperwork, but that wasn’t a problem.
Overall, MPB made the process easy, fair, and stress-free for someone new to selling camera equipment. I’d definitely use them again!”
“I have part exchanged with mpb on 2 occasions and been offered more money than the online quote. The exchange process is easy to follow and understand. Mpb arranged a courier company to collect and deliver. Within 7 days I had upgraded my camera equipment.
If you have items to sell or part exchange then Iwould definitely recommend mpb”
“I've used MPB several times and keep returning. Why? There are many reasons including their easy-to-use website, great pricing and extremely fair trade-in appraisals. Most recently, I sent in a lens for trade and was quoted a price. Imagine my surprise when they contacted me and said my lens was worth more than the quote. Talk about honesty. That furthered my already strong approval of this company. I will continue being a dedicated customer.”
