Does anyone know anything about a company called "mpb". I am looking for a used Canon camera, and their prices are lower than anyone elses, and they seem to have more stock than any place else...Just wondering if this is too good to be true..any info would be appreciated. They can be found at mpb.com. Thanks

I had a similar suspicion. Seemed too good to be true. Better condition, lower shutter count and cheaper.

Well established seller of used photo equipment. Has many positive reviews on this site

I've done business with MPB 3 or 4 times without problems. The only issue I've had is that they're a little stingy on the amount they pay for your gear. But then I remind myself that they have someone clean it and make sure it's good to go, not to mention how fast these things lose value. If you have questions about a piece be sure to read the additional info and if your still not sure call them. hope this helps

They buy and sell used gear same as KEH although in my opinion are a cut above. Used them about 5-6 times to sell gear. All went well and their process for payment takes less time.

MPB offered the most for my camera and lenses, so I sold to them.
Very quick and seemingly very fair.
I've not purchased from them so can't speak to that end of the equation.

Sold my Nikon D5600 to them, $75 more than other bid. Everything went smoothly, money 3 business days after they received. Assume reverse deals are the same.

Have not used them much, because they don’t carry much preowned Fuji gear.

I purchased some Lee filters from them and found that their prices were good and the condition they advertised was accurate. I would buy from them again. Just FYI, depending on the camera model you're looking for, you might want to check Canon's refurbished listings: https://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/cameras/refurbished-eos-interchangeable-lens-cameras

I've used the MPB UK site a couple of time to purchase secondhand lenses and have no complaints. The last lens I purchased was as as new Sigma 180mm f2.8 OS macro, complete with original packaging and case. It cost £800 instead of about £1400. Brilliant lens and definately as described. I would certainly purchase from MPB again.

Traded with and purchased from MPB.com several times with very satisfactory results. Their grading system for used gear is conservative.

MPB is a good and reputable service. I think they originated in the UK but have been in operation here for a couple of years. I bought a used camera from them and was very happy. Tried them and KEH to sell a couple of lenses, but I found I did better on eBay.

The only problem I have with them is trying to remember their name.

I have traded with them 3 different times. My current camera - Canon 80D is from them, and I am tickled pink, I also have a used 15-85mm lens and that also awesome. They are originally from the UK. I have been satisfied.
