What’s better than making money from camera gear you don’t use anymore? Selling it with a clear conscience.
That’s possible thanks to MPB – the largest global platform to buy, sell and trade used photo and video gear. MPB provides a simple, safe and circular way for visual storytellers to make money and put gear into the hands of other creators.
Looking to unload gear? It’s easy to receive a free instant quote. Simply select the item you want to sell and note the condition it’s in. MPB then provides an instant quote, which comes with a 14-day price guarantee in case you change your mind.
MPB uses a dynamic pricing engine that evaluates items based on age, popularity, brand and condition. Once they receive your gear, MPB’s product specialists carefully inspect it to make sure the price is fair for both parties, and you’ll receive your earnings in days.
Investing in your future
Whether you’re an entry-level photographer, an online content creator or a seasoned pro, we all can stand to save.
Budding videographers would be thrilled to find the Canon EOS Rebel SL3 in Like New condition for just over $500 – $100 cheaper than its Amazon listing price.
Seasoned professionals may prefer the premium Nikon D780, now available for just over $1,600 in Like New condition – $600 cheaper than its current MSRP.
If drones are more your deal, how about $419 for the ever-popular DJI Mini 2 Fly More Combo?
Camera equipment certainly isn’t cheap, and when it’s time for an upgrade, some spare change to go toward your new gear is nothing to sniff at. The average seller on MPB earns $900 each time they sell their gear to MPB.
Or, trading in your old gear for an upgrade from MPB contributes toward a more sustainable, less wasteful market.
The planet’s future is your future, too
There’s more to this sustainable approach than keeping older models out of landfills – MPB wants to make sure every step of the trading process is as positive for the planet as possible with its commitment to being a 100% circular business.
Circularity, in this setting, means a business is focused around retaining the lifespan of products through upcycling, repairing, recycling or, in MPB’s case, reselling. Beyond the business model, true circularity requires a business to put sustainability first in its business practices from delivery and packaging to energy usage.
That’s never an easy feat in the world of e-commerce considering how much data and energy goes into running the platform alone. To combat this, MPB’s cloud-based platform uses 100% renewable electricity.
In an interview last year, MPB Head of Sustainability Rachel Thompson said the company is also aiming for 100% renewable energy in their buildings by 2025 versus the current level of 50%, taking the company from “carbon-neutral” to “zero carbon.”
Additionally, MPB uses 100% plastic-free packaging, which is designed to be easily reused and recycled.
Whether you're selling or trading in for another pre-loved piece of gear, you'll be contributing to a more sustainable camera market and future. So, if you're ready to sell, trade or upgrade, visit mpb.com to get started today.
