Has anyone done business with MPB. I got a quote from them to buy my equipment and I don't know how reputable they are. Any help would be appreciated !!

What is MPB? (Expand the initials)
Found it...

Something really weird going on in there:
https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.mpb.com
Read the reviews, all 5 stars and all... recent, I mean hours recent.
THAT is not a good sign.

Please note that the two positive links are older. The slew of positive new reviews is still a red flag. Unless they have millions of clients folks do not flock to give kudos.

This has been discussed a lot on this form. Many members, including myself, have had a great experience with them.

Only issue I had with them when I sold to them (at a pretty generous price) is they wanted routing info to direct deposit to my bank. They gave me the option of snail-mailing a check.
I'd do business with them again.

I traded a D5600 with cash for a D7500 and a lens transaction went quite smoothly

If you do a search here you will find many, like myself, have been totally satisfied with them, plus their quotes are usually generous compared to others.

Hi, let's put your mind at rest. They are a reputable company which operates in US and UK . I have dealt with them for quite a few years! Excellent prices and excellent products. Great customer service! No I am not linked to them in any way, just say as I see.
You'll get a great deal from them.
Regards Steve

I purchased one used lens from them. The lens was in better than described condition (like new), the price was good, and the customer service flawless. That's only one experience but based on that I recommend them. I've also had a couple of good purchasing experiences with KEH.

Yes, reputable. Because they need to buy low, you will almost always realize more money selling direct (ebay, etc.). In my one experience with mbp, i also felt that their shipping charges were high. But, no issue of integrity.

I have not sold anything to them but I have bought a lens from them in the past. The condition of the lens was better than it was described and I bought it at a most reasonable price.
The transaction was handled in a most professional manner with excellent communication all the way.
Highly recommended.

I have bought and sold used lenses with them. My experience was as good as my experiences with B&H, KEH, and Adorama.
