I kind of expected this. After examining the D5100, D5300, Sony a6000, and a couple of lenses, they raised their offer by $40. Payment is on the way. This is fun! I'm going right to eBay and buy a bunch of cameras just so I can sell them! I'm gonna get rich!

It's a "what", a company that buys and sells cameras and related equipment.

Great! More dough! MPB, after checking the shutter count of my submitted high-end Nikon and Canon DSLRs, lowered the offer by several hundred. Granted, they were older "last season's" models but not abused and in my opinion, looked Excellent--!

Be well! Have great weekend! Ed

I imagine the price you get is based as much on how many of the items they have at the time your equipment comes in. If they have a high demand and minimal or none of the items, then they may offer you a higher price for quality equipment. If they have a low demand and several on hand, they may give you a lower price and use the excuse of how they graded it to give you a lower place. Supply and demand plays a major factor.

Supply and demand is a key component of Capitalism. If there is a demand and you have control of supply, then you can control prices.
