With MPB’s powerful website and pricing engine, just enter the model and its condition to instantly receive a free quote. No hidden fees or haggling – just a fair, up-to-date valuation. MPB has pricing for over 10,000 different cameras, lenses and accessories. Once you’ve got your quote, you can choose free doorstep collection or to drop your gear off at a local point, at a time that suits you. MPB covers the shipping costs both ways, with fully insured delivery and returns, for total peace of mind throughout the process. After your gear arrives and has been checked, MPB will confirm the final price. If it matches or exceeds your original quote, the money is paid straight into your bank account.

Black & white Showcase monochrome’s power through contrast, shadow and tone. We’re looking for elegant, expressive images with texture, shape and feeling at their heart.

Photo editing This is for creatives who enhance their shots with flair. We want edits – like subtle retouching or imaginative compositing – that add impact without overwhelming.

DRAMATIC DUO These shots are very different but both have real impact; Tim Burgess is a front-runner in the photo editing category with this racing dog on a brushed beach (above), while Andrew McDonald shot this stunning architecture that looks like something out of science fiction (top)
