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.


I think they just run an 'honest show'. They have a price they pay based on how they rate the equipment. If YOU rate the equipment higher than they -- they lower the offer. Good to see that they also raise the offer if they think the equipment is better than you did.

The question was "Who is MPB?" and I think the most correct answer is MPB is Matthew P. Barker, founder and CEO of MPB.com.

Correct, for sure. "MOST correct" ??? Nope. Most correct is "Google is your friend" ... always the most correct for stoopid simple stuff.

If the answer is "MPB is the outfit that buys and sells used photographic equipment" is also correct but because the question is "Who is MPB?" then the answer for a person is more correct than a business.

That's always worked for me.

You don't want to buy something that isn't expensive. "You get what you pay for."

"Like New" and "Excellent" were as high as I went. They thought they were better.

They show twelve D5100s available, yet they raised their initial offering for mine. I'm not complaining.
