p.1 #1 · Best online platform to sell your Camera Lens & Body


Hi All,

Do you recommend any other online platforms (reliable) to sell your camera and lens (except Fred Miranda)?
I know we have KEH,MPB etc,..but I would like to know your recommendation based on selling experience. Although the selling process is hassle-free, the buying price offered by these site are way too low.

Please suggest.

Thanks,
Dev

i would say dpreview forum or reddit.com/r/photomarket

regarding reddit photomarket, it is a bigger marketplace but also lurks a lot of scammers.

FB, craigslist, offerup are other options but you get a ton of bad offers and have to deal with a lot of flaky people.

ebay general can get a decent price but considering all the fee's that come along with it, it might be comparable to the final asking price on FM.

OP, in my experience, MPB. Submit a listing of you items and you'll get a quote and you can take it or leave it. I've had the experience now x2 of undervaluing equipment and MPB adjusted it upward. Recently I traded a ver.1, Canon EF 35/1.4. I got an offer, and I took it, that was within $35 of what I paid for it, I applied it to a trade for a Zeiss Milvus for Canon 25/1.4. MPB leaves KEH, Adorama, Roberts, BH, Craigslist, in the freakin' dust. Excellent customer service. YMMV. I know I'll continue to do business with them.

Just sold about $4K worth of stuff to MPB. Everything went well. For one item (70-200L f/2.8 II), I quoted the condition as "excellent", they changed it to "like new" and gave me more than the original quote. This is the second time I am selling to them, will use them again.

Would you use MPB to sell a $10k camera system?
