more than 3000 products added to the platform every week, there’s a very good chance you’ll find what you’re looking for. Anyone coming to the platform with a dose of suspicion for used equipment will be mollified by MPB’s rigorous inspection process, in which all cameras and lenses undergo a thorough check by product specialists before approval for sale. Every item is individually photographed when it gets listed on the platform, so if you’re looking at a product on MPB, that’s the exact item you will receive in the post. All kit also comes with a free six-month warranty, and there’s a hassle-free returns policy. With an extremely transparent labelling process – condition tags range from ‘like new’ to ‘spares and repairs’ – buyers can be certain of what they are purchasing. And between the fact that shipping is free both ways when you trade in to upgrade, and that buyers spend a third less on average buying used kit compared to new, you’re set to make serious savings with MPB.
