Who is better? B&H, MPB, KEH or who?
Thanks for the help

Many, many purchases all better condition than claimed with great prices and service. Be patient with their web site - they just updated it and there are some minor glitches. Check their internet sales as well - many of those have a Make An Offer option. Have used that more than a few times.

Yep even been to their store before the world changed. Mpb seems to pay the most in my limited 2 times selling anything. Robert's is reputable in my opinion

I have sold cameras to them a couple of times. It went fine. They call their used department "Used Photo Pro".

Great company. I find that they can get high demand items to me quickly--sometimes weeks earlier than B&H, etc. They also give great advice.

I have gotten quotes from them in the past on purchasing gear that I wanted to sell. They weren't the highest quote, so I have never sent them my gear and found out whether their quote was what I would have received.

Roberts is good.

Robert's and Hunt's in Manchester, NH are my personal choices

I have been to B&H numerous times. I love the store so much I wish I worked there. They do very nicely buying back camera equipment. I have done business with B&H, Roberts, MPB and KEH and EBay. This is a tough one. You can ask what they will buy your equipment for. But what they will sell it for you may sometimes get an answer but don’t count on it every time. The markdown and markup will vary between the type of equipment. Before you go to any specific store, get this information and write everything down on a piece of paper. Then you can make a better informed decision.

I have never bought or sold anything on UHH, but they too look like a fair reseller.

Roberts is as reputable as it gets. My brother dealt with them for years before his death with never a glitch, and now, since Jack’s in Muncie has shut down their physical store, I go there also, as do most of my camera club friends. Never a problem of any kind.

Roberts is my go to company. They are very responsive with excellent pricing. Most of
their used gear has a 180 day warranty. I have purchased from them many times.
Highly recommended.

I have bought from them. They have an excellent service and competitive prices. Yes, they are a reputable company like the others you mentioned. I also like MPB with their excellent service, another reputable company.
I have never sold anything to these companies so in that respect I am of no help.
