I just bought a used Tamron 18-270mm from MPB, and the experience was smoother than the bokeh on a prime lens.Ordering was such a breeze I almost forgot I was spending money. The package tracking was so convenient it bordered on a digital obsession—I watched that lens travel across the map like it was a long-lost relative coming home for the holidays.The lens arrived in exactly the condition described. No "creative interpretations" of wear and tear here; what you see in the photos is truly what you get.I’ve taken it out for a spin once on my Nikon D3200. I’m still figuring out how to squeeze the best results out of it, mostly because the autofocus is a bit… leisurely. It’s not "wait for the glaciers to melt" slow, but it definitely operates on its own relaxed schedule. It’s the kind of lens that encourages you to slow down and really think about your shot—mostly because you don’t have a choice.All that said, I’ll definitely be back to MPB. The pricing was fair, the description was honest, and my gear bag is happier for it.
Happy Customer
Communication was very good and personal service made transaction easy. Quotes are provided promptly and collection of items sold was straightforward. Pleased with prices offered and won't hesitate to deal with company again. Thank you.

I am beyond thrilled with my recent purchase! From start to finish, this has been an A+ experience.
The Product: The quality is outstanding, exceeding all my expectations. It works perfectly, and you can tell a lot of care went into it. I couldn't be happier with it!
Shipping Speed: I was shocked at how fast it arrived! It was dispatched almost immediately, and I received it sooner than anticipated. Truly impressive service.
Eco-Friendly Packaging: This was the icing on the cake. I absolutely love that the company uses sustainable, plastic-free, and recyclable packaging. It’s so refreshing to see a brand committed to protecting the planet without compromising on safety.Everything arrived in perfect condition. I will definitely be purchasing from them again.
If you're on the fence, just do it—you won't be disappointed!
Very easy process
Very easy process. Good price given for my gear. More, in fact, than their original quote. Would use again.
Great experience
The entire process of selling my equipment was frictionless, even after I included an item I forgot to list on the quote. The values quoted were fair and some of the items were rated higher than what I listed. For me, MPB is definitely the best of the equipment resale options.
Quick and easy purchase
Everything was simple and easy to navigate online. Product arrived just as described and well protected. Very happy with the purchase.

Very honest pricing for my old gear and excellent pricing and quality for my new gear. Fantastic service for collection of the lens I wanted to sell with a quick email informing me of the price offered, along with the same quick and brilliant service delivering the lens I had purchased. All that and the fact that you are reusing equipment that has been checked and is reliable.

You can't go wrong with MPB
Refused to send my battery back on trade in.
I sent in my Canon R6 with a battery and charger that I had been quoted $900. After MPB got my camera they sent me a "revised" quote of $653. They refused to return my battery, which I had used the weekend prior to sending it in. I'll NEVER sell these guys anything again. Here is what they sent me.

Hi Will,
Thank you for waiting.
The product specialists have confirmed that unfortunately the battery sent exhibits poor recharge performance and therefore cannot be included in the trade or returned.
Very sorry for any disappointment there.
Best regards,
Jean-Francois

Insurance coverage cancelled without any notification.
I purchased a used Fuji camera body with insurance coverage. Camera failed within 2 months. MPB did a good job with replacement but NEVER told me they would cancel insurance coverage. I clearly want it covered. They pulled a clever Catch 22. Coverage must be purchased at the time you purchase equipment. They never notfied me of cancellation and never gave me an option to purchase coverage. Pretty sleazy.
