There are so many ways photo and video storytellers can cash in big at MPB this Holiday season. Here are three of the ways MPB, the largest global platform to buy, sell and trade used photo and video gear, can help make your year-end brighter.

Sell Underused Gear to MPB
MPB is the world's premier destination for selling, trading and buying used photo and video equipment. The process is easy, fast and secure.

Whether you want to raise holiday cash, finance that winter vacation to a warm climate or simply shed some of the dust collectors in your camera closet, MPB is the place to begin.

MPB uses a sophisticated analysis to ensure that you receive the appropriate market value on your trade in. On average, photo and video storytellers earn about $900 when they sell to MPB. And you know upfront what your gear is worth, so you can make informed decisions.

Selling & Trading is as Easy as 1 – 2 – 3
First, get a free Instant Quote. MPB uses a 5-point Condition Rating System to evaluate your gear when you sell or trade, so everyone is on the same page. Next, MPB provides free insured shipping via FEDEX. They even offer free doorstep pickup if that's more convenient. And third, MPB makes payment directly to your bank, usually within two working days, after receipt and inspection.

5-Point Condition Rating System
The condition ratings are: • Like New - unboxed, unused or lightly used • Excellent - minimal signs of wear, otherwise pristine • Good - fair amount of use, but well-kept • Well Used - significant use, signs of normal wear and tear • Heavily Used - clear signs of wear and tear, still works.

Buy MPB Approved Equipment at Great Savings
MPB has an enormous inventory of used cameras, lenses, drones and other gear. Buyers typically save about 33% vs the retail cost of new. MPB has more than 16,000 pieces of used gear in the US and over 47,000 globally. They add more than 2,000 products every week.

All cameras and lenses come with a 6-month warranty. Every item is carefully inspected by a trained specialist using the same 5-Point Condition Rating System shown above.

Plus, the product you see in the listing is the exact same item you are buying, because MPB photographs every camera and lens individually. And MPB lists every accessory included with the product, so there are no unpleasant surprises.

Save Even More
Save even more by trading the stuff you don't use for the stuff you want.

Trading is as easy as selling. You always receive the same value from MPB whether you sell or trade. Select the item(s) you wish to purchase and request an Instant Quote on the gear you want to trade. MPB holds your shopping basket to the side until you either accept or decline their trade-in offer.

It's About Trust, Not Transactions
MPB is rated Five Stars on Trustpilot, based on nearly 43,000 reviews from photo and video storytellers like you. MPB has served 625,000 visual storytellers and recirculates more than 500,000 items a year.

Some Examples of Products People Love

Fujifilm X-T4
Priced from $1,039 to $1,249, depending on condition, the mirrorless Fujifilm X-T4 has been a favorite among photographers — and for some very good reasons. Fitted with Fujifilm's 4th generation APS-C X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor, X-Processor 4 and a potent in-body image stabilization (IBIS) system, the X-T4 features multiple Film Simulation Modes (including the new Eterna Bleach Bypass and the rich Acros black & white films). It offers 26.1-megapixel resolution, Full HD video, 425 AF points and an articulating touchscreen LCD among other amazing features. It even does one trick the X-T5 cannot do: the LCD monitor can be fully reversed so that the vulnerable surface faces inside, keeping it out of danger when you backpack or bike.

Sony Alpha  A7R III
The full-frame mirrorless Sony Alpha A7R III features a whopping 42.4-megapixel CMOS sensor, 500,000 shot shutter life rating, outstanding high ISO / low light image quality, 4K video, 399 AF focusing points and many other exciting features. Truly a professional-level full-frame camera, the A7R III can take your photography skills to the next level. MPB has several Sony Alpha A7R III models in stock priced from $1,109 to $1,359.

The compact design belies the power within. The X10 captures 4K photo and video optically stabilized with Panasonic's POWER O.I.S. Equipped with a Leica DC Vario-Summilux f/1.4-2.8 lens, it's the camera you'll want with your all the time. Prices start at $329 and there are several models available in various conditions.
