We appreciate you sharing your positive experience. It is wonderful to hear that our service was quick and our support team was helpful. We are glad that the payment was processed on time and that you found the upgrade to the quote to be fair. Thank you for choosing us.
MPB is a great company to work with
MPB is a great company to work with. They kept me informed every step of the process. I've done business with them a couple times now. I'm very pleased with their service and communication.

Just can't fault the experience with MPB. The kit always arrives quickly, the condition is always as described, any problems their help centre is super responsive. I've had about 6 cameras off them now, traded a couple of times and never had a bad experience.

Very efficient and easy to use site and quick delivery. I’ve ordered a couple of items from them and have never had any issues
This is the first time that I have used…
This is the first time that I have used a service like this and I was very impressed with how easy it was. Some things I was paid more for than the initial quote.
I will definitely be using you again.
Professional and prompt
I've purchased several items from MPB, and while a couple haven't quite been what it was billed as, they've been absolutely professional and prompt in resolving the issues.
I was recommended to this site
I was recommended to this site and I cannot fault it. Descriptions of equipment are spot on. Swift delivery and carefully packed. I will be revisiting when I next need to purchase something.
Way better than I expected
I was not aware of MPB until I searched for ways to sell my camera gear. The whole process from logging my items to getting the quote was fast and straightforward. I was happy with the quoted prices, it saved me lots of time and hassle trying to sell on eBay or Marketplace. The time saved was worth a lot to me.
Communication was great, fast and consistent so I knew what was happening at each step of the process.
The whole process from start to finish was straightforward, fast and efficient.
I even had my quote revised upwards once my items had been checked.
The payment was in my bank within 2 days of accepting the quotation.
Overall, I would highly recommend this professional business and I will do more business with them in the future. I’ll be buying next time as they have great prices on gear for sale.
WOULD NEVER USE AGAIN !!!!!!
Got quotes for two MINT condition Canon fit Sigma lenses, sent them off, and then they said that they can't buy my gear, RIDICULOUS !!!!

Great service
Great service, quality items with good guarantees. I will definatly buy afain from MPB
Highly recommended! Always a guarantee
Not my first purchase here, and they never disappoint. Bought a used Godox TT30 Pro flash, but it’s practically brand new! Great price, smooth transaction, and super fast shipping. Special shout-out for the packaging: flawless, secure, and 100% green (entirely made of paper).
Five stars well deserved!
I was warned…
I was warned that most of the online camera vendors were known for their bait and switch tactics, but based off of reviews to the contrary I gave it a try. I got the original bids for a camera and 2 lenses and shipped them to the vendor. End result was an email stating that their bid was being reduced by $100, almost 20% of the original. I wish I could say I was surprised, and I wish I could say I wasn't warned but I was. Live, learn and stick to one-on-one sales.

Very honest and communicative people
Very honest and communicative people. I sent a high value package for a trade — they actually improved their initial offer! Would not hesitate to deal with again.
This is my first larger purchase and…
This is my first larger purchase and trade with MPB. I'm hooked - the customer service agents(human) were awesome and even the Ai were mostly accurate. Their pricing on both the sell and trade pricing were fair - but it was nice to have customer service so quick to respond.
Thank you - you have another new satisfied customer and will definitely tell others in our photo club in The Grand, Surprise, AZ.

Great service when selling or buying the equipment. Got quote within minutes and process was super smooth after accepting the process.

The local guys tried to lowball me on some lenses. MPB offered me almost three times their offer so I sent my lenses to mpb and after they looked at my lenses they offered me $19 more and I took the offer and money was in my bank that day. I also prefer MPB to the other guys for buying.
Superb Company
My son is a brilliant photographer and has used MPB a number of times to buy and sell camera equipment. The service we always receive is superb and the equipment is as specified. We will always use them whenever possible.
