How does this MPB place compare to KEH?
Do they sell for about the same price?
Do they pay about the same price for your used gear you want to sell?
I've noticed over the past year or so, that KEH just doesn't seem to have crap available on their site. I'm shopping them mostly for older MF film gear, I got my Hasselblad 501CM from them, good price, and in great condition.
But lately, I can't seem to find much of anything there...or even their eBay bids.
I think I searched MPB place once awhile back and they didn't seem to have much there either at the time?
There really aren't any local shops here in the New Orleans area I know of that sell used gear, heck I dunno of anywhere close to me that sells used gear.
I've heard of camera fairs where they are like a gun show, but with cameras for sale by private citizens and dealers, but I don't guess there are any near me for that.
And with crime the way it is, I don't deal with craigslist ....people get beaten, robbed and killed meeting up with people on that...just not worth the risk IMHO.
So, at the point, I'm having to take my chances on eBay...fortunately I've been lucky with some old WW2 era cameras and soviet lenses/cameras....had to return one and was nice to know the eBay return policy actually works.
Oh well...if I had more avenues to buy...I'd BUY and I really need to stop spending camera money like a drunken sailor on port call.
