“I traded in a lens toward the purchase of another Nikkor 80-200mm AF-D two step. MPB set up the shipping details for sending my lens to them, so all I had to do was box up my lens, print and label the box with the label they emailed to me, then drop it off at a FedEx site. They set aside the lens I was purchasing until they could evaluate the one I was trading in.
Factoring in weekends, shipping time and time for them to evaluate my trade-in, it took about 10-14 days for the whole transaction. The 80-200mm lens was in excellent physical condition. AF doesn't work, but that was known and part of the reason I picked it - AF on the particular line of Nikkor lenses doesn't work with my mirrorless cameras. Manual focus delivers tack sharp images. The price reduction just for the AF not working was too good to pass up, since I can't use it anyway. If that lens was sold as new, it would cost well over $1000, but I got it for less than $150.”
“I traded a full nikon kit for a Leica M11 monochrome. The process was very smooth. The initial quote i got was accurate and i wasn’t lowballed after sending in my gear. In the beginning, I put the wrong lens and camera on my quote but my rep was able to get the order modified while i was in the process of waiting on my inspection which was a big deal so i didn’t lose out on the rare monochrome camera that i was wanting. After the inspection I had my new camera the next day. Zero time wasted. I’m so happy with the entire transaction and the quality of the items were exactly as listed.”
“Actual photos of the items really help and the condition descriptions are very accurate. I'm also impressed with the speed of their trade-in responses.”
“From the moment I created an account to going through the process of getting a quote, accepting the quote and then sending the item to MPB and getting paid was so easy and seamless. One of the best online experiences that I have ever had with any company. Granted I am a new customer and have only gone through the process a few times it was very enjoyable. I will continue to do business with MPB in the future if my past experience is any indication of the quality of how they operate. Also they communicated with me throughout the entire process which is appreciated.”
“Trading in my lens for another one was a painless process and it’s clear that they have an eye for quality in the equipment they sell to others because the new lens I received was in pristine condition. Looking forward to buying/selling with MPB in the future.”
“MPB makes it really easy to trade in your gear. My wife and I both traded in our cameras and lenses to upgrade to a newer one. It was a seamless process from beginning to end. Very easy to ship your gear and they make it simple to review the adjustments to the quote and to make any changes.”
“I found the exact equipment I was looking for and was able to make a trade in order to update to "like new" equipment that was precisely that...no worry about whether it really was like new. The transaction went smoothly and quickly and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.”
“I've used MPB a couple of times in the past year. They always have a good selection of used equipment at a very good price. Used condition rating is very accurate. When it says like new, you'd be hard pushed to tell that it isn't new.
Shipping in recyclable packaging is a plus for me too. I usually save it to mail any sell or trade items back to them.
Certainly better customer service than another 3 letter used equipment seller.
Highly recommend.”
