Kept well informed about progress throughout. Would definitely use MPB again. – Kay M The best It’s hard to find legitimate businesses to sell/exchange your gear with – I’ve had horrible experiences! MPB are trustworthy, reliable and fast. They are as honest as you are and don’t try to undercut you. I have also purchased a few items from them, which I’ve used for years without issue. – Zoe B Better than I expected I wanted to get into photography, but I also didn’t want to spend a fortune on a camera. MPB gave me the opportunity to try this. The gear arrived very well packed, and the condition of the camera and lens was impeccable. Both work and look great. – Catalin Nae Very satisfied customer I purchased another used lens, received it very quickly, well packaged and in excellent condition, as described. I have used MPB on many occasions and have never been disappointed… highly recommend if you are looking to add to your kit. – Stephen Nield Thousands agree with MPB!
which is free and fully insured. If you change your mind, that’s no problem. Get your kit back at any point before the money is paid into your bank account. As with most things in life, honesty is the best policy when it comes to selling – and that works both ways with MPB. If your assessment of the condition of the equipment is accurate, you should get the price originally quoted. If you’ve underrated its condition, however, and MPB consider it to be in better condition, you’ll get even more money! One final consideration is that MPB won’t take every type of camera, so don’t head up into the loft just yet. There are some exceptions, but generally stills and video cameras should be digital, not
analogue. Lenses are also welcomed, of course, as are accessories including bags and flashguns. If you’ve never bought used before, we’d urge you to give it a try. In MPB you have one of the finest used equipment retailers on the planet, ready to find the perfect piece of kit for you.
