“Great speed and convenience. Free collection of camera gear for sale. Good offers for gear. You can tell the customer service staff are very well trained. Website is very flashy but easy to use too.”
“Can't fault MPB on quality of goods, price and service. The moans I read on here the majority are complaints regarding trades. If you don't like the offer you receive don't sell. It's as simple as that!”
“I recently did a lens trade with MPB. EVERYTHING from receiving a quote, doing the trade and receiving the upgraded lens was top-notch. MPB stayed in touch, and shipping of my old lens to them was on their dime.
Could I have sold my old lens for more than MPB offered me? Probably...but it's just like the difference between trading IN a car (wholesale $) and selling it on your own (trade-in value). Could I have paid less for the new lens? Probably, but again, the same thing. The convenience of knowing that I had a solid offer on my trade-in, not having to wait for possibly days/weeks for it to sell on my own MORE than made up for the offers I received.
MPB reached out to me when my trade-in arrived. I had seen other reviews that indicated it might be up to 11 days before a trade-in evaluation was completed. Within a day and a half of MPB receiving my old lens, I got an email to finalize the deal. QUICK turnaround...thanks, MPB!
The lens I traded for was advertised as being in "like new" condition. That's exactly what I found when I opened the box...nary a blemish or mark, superb glass, in the original box, with all accessories included. When it was time for them to ship to me, I opted for 2-day delivery...and that's Brooklyn NY to Central Oregon! It showed up on time and I'm a happy shooter now.
If YOU are in the market for buying used bodies or lenses, or are interested in trading, I'd highly recommend you do some business with MPB...I know I will in the future as the need arises.”
“I’ve always had great experiences with MPB! I’m fact, I just send them a camera body and 2 lenses in which they paid me a very fair price! They always respond to my emails and go above and beyond to take care of me! I’d recommend MPB to anyone wishing to sell camera gear!”
“After purchasing a lense from mpb I read the reviews online here and was quite worried based on the criticisms. To me and my experience, these criticisms seem to be invalid. They delivered my product promptly, it was in the condition they had promised, they had good contact with me throughout the order, and they even required a signature for the delivery so the expensive lense wouldn’t be stolen. I do not see any reason to give them less than 5 stars; the price of the lense they sold me was incredibly competitive as well; barely more than an eBay bid for an unknown quality lense.”
“This was my first time selling to MPB. I sold 8 separate items and was very happy with their initial quote.
They arranged collection via courier. Tracking so you knew when the parcel had arrived with them. A confirmation email plus a further email after examining the goods.
A detailed listing of an adjusted valuation as they felt 2 items were not as highly rated as I had described.
However there were other items they upgraded as they felt they were of higher value than I had estimated. All in all I found it to be an extremely positive an would have no problems using them again.
Finally should you be unhappy with the final valuation they will return your goods via courier and at their expense.
John.”
“MPB.com is incredible! I highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase good used camera equipment. Their prices are extremely reasonable and the listings are very clear about the condition of the equipment. I never have any worries when I buy from them - I always get exactly what I expect. I've bought both lenses and camera bodies, at a fraction of the price I could find elsewhere, without any of the fears that I'll be getting a lemon. Plus, with my most recent purchase, they went out of their way to make sure my package would arrive on time. Thank you! :) (As a side note, I am completely surprised by all the negative reviews here. I have had nothing but great experiences with these guys and have become a solid MPB.com fan.)”
“Great service. I've sold my camera, I am happy with a price that they valued my camera. Was very quick, very simple, answered all my emails within the same day. Would definitely use their service again. Highly recommended.”
“the most efficient frendly and informative company i have ever dealt with......from collecting my equipment to pay out was seamless thahk you M.P.B......”
“As an old timer I was worried about selling my gear to an unknown (to me) company. They kept emailing me on progress and I got a very good price for my lens. I found them very prompt, efficient and caring when I raised any concerns. I would rate MPB very highly and recommend them to anyone,”
“Right let me say here and now that I have been dealing with MPB for about 5 years. I have never had a problem with this company. I am a semi-pro wedding photographer and I've bought all my kit from this company. This amount has run into thousands!
Over the last two weeks, (Dec 2019) I have decided to switch from Canon to Fuji. I sent some kit into them on the Friday before Christmas they checked it all over and sent out the replacement kit and I had it for Christmas eve!
I don't know what problems other reviewers have had all I can offer here is my own personal experience. I once bought a very expensive Canon L series lens which turned out to be slightly damaged (filter thread was slightly skewed)They accepted it back with no qualms and gave us a full refund.
I have no hesitation in recommending MPB I personally find the prices and the condition of the kit to be top-notch, I am now the proud owner of a lovely Fuji XT2 in fantastic condition, thank you MPB for dealing with my quote in a very timely manner.
I don't believe in father Christmas but I do believe in MPB!
Happy Day's!”
“I tend to change my gear quite often ! MPB Have aways given me a top used price for my gear, with Free courier pickup , The items i have purchased have also been in supurb condition , One Camera was not but they immediatly agreed to swop it out,would not hesitate to use them again”
