I bought a used D500 from them and was very pleased. The first one they sent was a UK model and I wanted a US model in case I needed service in the future; they gladly swapped it out. I also sold some used cameras and lenses to them for a fair price. I recommend them.
Sold stuff through them. Flawless. So at least on the sale-side, great company.

I have used them and have been satisfied. The only problem I've had is when I've returned something for exchange, it takes awhile to process the exchange and get the new gear back. Also, as Greg mentioned, make sure to ask them the item has a US serial number, as I have received non-US warrantied items which I had to exchange. Mpb hasn't charged me tax on items, either.

Hi, thank you very much for all the information. I have a lot of used equipment I'm selling. So I'll see what I can get for it. Thank you.

I have used MPB to both buy and sell Nikon lenses. On the most recent lens I bought its condition was better than advertised or rated by MPB. When you send gear to them to sell, they pay for the shipping. I recommend them.

Selling used gear
I considering moving up to a Z7ii and I wonder what anyone here has found as the best place to sell your used Nikon cameras and lenses.

You can do much better selling to an individual by listing on FM Forums, Nikonians, etc., but it's more work and not entirely risk free.

I've purchased two bodies from MPB, they were both better than MPB had indicated. There wasn't a mark on either one when I received them; I don't remember the shutter count on either when I received them, but it was a lot less than they now have. MPB's price was more than fair, they shipped promptly and the packing was excellent.
I purchased two D-500s. Good bodies, easy transactions.
MBP is a quality outfit that I've had good luck with both buying from and selling to over the years.
I have used Craigslist locally many times, both buying and selling and never had a problem.

I’ve made purchases there before without any problems. Prices are fair and they list shutter counts for camera bodies. I’d recommend them. Sales I made were priced fairly. Other places would drop estimates post-inspection on mint equipment.

In my experience, KEH pays a little more when you sell your equipment. MPB is a great company to deal with, and I have bought and sold to/from both MPB and KEH with high satisfaction.
In the UK I've bought from MPB a few times with no issues. However, when selling they don't offer the highest prices compared to the other companies I got quotes from.
When I sold a bunch of Fuji lenses they were 10% higher than KEH, 20% than BH and Adorama. About to sell more, see how they do.
Hudson loves MPB…
updated: a London store offered me £400 for my z24-70 f4 while this morning, after watching the video, MPB offered £300….was thinking of getting the z 24-120 f4, but they’re like rocking horse manure. Don’t exist!

Rocking Horse Manure would be an excellent name for a band.
I have bought several items from them including my current d500 with less than a thousand clicks. Good company to me. I have also sold to them. No issues good service and I had a 6 month warranty on my camera and lenses

I’ve used MPB here in the UK extensively for yers and no issues. Turn around has always been great and they are usually there or thereabouts on the values. Hope this helps.
My brother has bought and sold on MPB and recommends them. He knows I've had the Nikon 105 1.4 on my wishlist and pointed me to a few that mpb had on their site. I couldn't justify the purchase but if I could have I would have gone ahead and bought it from them.

I’ve sold stuff to them and the experience has been very positive. I’ve looked for some used equipment on their site unfortunately they never had what I was looking for when I was in the market. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy something from them based on my experience so far.
