Choose used! You don’t have to splash all your cash on your next bit of kit. Not with Best Used Retailer, MPB. As millions have already discovered, second-hand doesn’t mean second best…

W ho doesn’t love a shiny, new toy to create with? But there’s a common misconception in the world of image making, and it hits where it hurts – in the pockets. Some believe there’s a risk involved with buying used. And there may be, with a selection of retailers. But MPB has earned enough of our readers’ votes to claim yet another Pro Moviemaker Gear of the Year award – so it must be doing something pretty special. You can buy, sell or trade, all in the same place; you’ll be offered free doorstep collection and payment within two days; and there’s even a six-month warranty on every item purchased. But it’s something even more meaningful that has won people over year after year: trust.

“If you’re looking to trade-in and have taken care of your kit, that will be rewarded” Based around a precise grading system, every product bought and sold by MPB passes through expert hands. One of five conditions is applied, so you know exactly what you’re getting, before even placing an order. At best, you can opt for ‘like new’, which is guaranteed to be pristine and may even be boxed. The most ‘heavily used’ bits of kit still function just as intended, so don’t rule them out immediately! There’s even a short description, specific to each individual camera or lens, outlining any notable features. The other direct impact of expert assessment is you’re sure to pay or receive a fair price. If you’re looking to trade-in and have taken care of your kit, that will be rewarded. If you don’t mind picking up a product with a fewmarks here and there, you can save a chunk of change. Thanks to MPB, there are no compromises with used. It’s what keeps the awards rolling in and customers happy. If you’re yet to get on board, take a look at these deals, with plenty more online.
