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!
For dummies like me, who is MPB?

They are a used gear company. Photographers can Buy, sell or trade used photo and video gear.

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

And MPB does stand for Matthew P. Barker the founder of the company.
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.
