How does MPB’s Pricing Work?

At MPB, we have our very own custom pricing engine called Re.Value. This is the world’s leading proprietary dynamic pricing engine of real-time prices for more than ten thousand used cameras, lenses and accessories.

MPB Re.Value has over a decade of ever-growing data, covering millions of data points across ten thousand models and three price zones.

MPB Re.Value provides real-time pricing for buyers and sellers, helping to recirculate over half a million cameras, lenses, and accessories each year

Our exclusive focus on used photo and video gear ensures MPB’s total independence, which means prices are free from manufacturer influence and reflect each item’s real-time market value.

Pricing for Selling

When you sell to MPB, you can get a free instant quote at any time by entering any model name and its estimated cosmetic condition. MPB Re.Value dynamic pricing engine will instantly provide you with a quote.

Each sell price includes complete seller protection with zero selling fees and fully insured carrier pickup or drop-off shipping.

Once each item arrives at one of our Circular Commerce Centres, the item is assessed by a product specialist against the MPB Approved inspection process.

The eight-to-ten–point inspection covers

  • Function performance,

  • Cosmetic conditions like paintwork,

  • Observations of moisture/fungus

  • Usage data including shutter count

  • Original manufacturer accessories.

Product specialists supply this confirmed data to MPB Re.Value, which dynamically sets the real-time price.

MPB then pays you directly into your bank account.

Selling to MPB is simple, safe and circular. No need to negotiate. MPB Re.Value provides total peace of mind.
