I have both bought/sold lenses & Nikon bodies, never an issue over 5 years. I have found they do offer slightly more$$$ than KEH, Adorama orB&H...they send you a FedEx ship label, notify you when gear has arrived, usual turn around 2-3 days

Looking at some used glass from MPB and, while intrigued, I'm still skeptical.

Anyone have any dealings with MPB and have some thoughts to share?

I know the reputation of some other dealers, just looking for some comments for MPB.

Thanks.

I purchased a D90 from them last year in “like new” advertised condition and it was like new. Fast service, very reasonable pricing. Would definitely purchase from them again.

I tried to buy a lens I needed. Since I was a new customer, they wanted me to jump through 100 hoops and even wanted me to send them a copy of a bill with my home address on it. I live in a rural town that does not have home mail delivery, so all my bills just have a P.O. box.

I was trying to pay with PayPal that had plenty of money in the account, and is backed up with my checking account. I gave up. Bought the lens on Ebay. No fuss, no muss.

I have bought 2 Nikon Speedlights, a Nikon Macro Ring Flash system, a Nikon Wireless Kit, Nikon 85mm & 60mm lenses. All arrived in super condition. They delivered as described and prompt shipping. No issues buying from them.

They are my first look for used equipment. I’ve bought used from them, KEH, B&H and Adorama, and while I would do business with all of them again, I seem to have gotten better deals from them, both buying and trading in.

I have only sold them gear. The gear I sold was nearly as good as an open box purchase. They were professional, honest and fairly priced. When I looked on their site for my gear, I thought it was a good value knowing the quality of the gear.

Great equipment. Great customer service. Very responsive. Camera as stated. Couldn’t be happier

I have bought and sold on their UK site following a recommendation. They are good to deal with and very fair in their pricing, i will use them again.

Got an answer from MPB.

Unfortunately we do not buy in or sell film cameras. If you're interested in selling or buying any film gear I would recommend visiting KEH.com. They too buy and sell used gear, but also specialize in film/analog gear.

Best,

Totally satisfied with MPB. Great Prices, great service and they pay more than most others for your used equipment if you don't want to hassle with selling your gear to individuals.

I bought a lens and decided it was too large for my camera. It worked
fine. I returned it within the agreed upon return period and money was promptly refunded.

I have bought and sold camera gear through them. On my last sale, they offered more than KEH and Roberts. They also seem to have more items in stock although I find their search engine difficult to use. I wish they would look at the KEH search engine to see how searches can be done better.

I have sold two lenses to MPB here in the UK and I have found them to be excellent people to deal with. They arranged for a carrier to collect the item from my home at no cost to myself and once they had confirmed that the equipment was in the condition that I stated it was when they quoted a price the money was paid directly into my bank account within a day.
