hi all, as per the title, who the best online for purchasing (and perhaps trading in) on line gear these days ?
I’ve decided to have a clear out of some little used M/43 camera bodies with their respective grips (OMD EM1 MK 1 & my nearly new Panasonic DC-G9).
I always used to use MPB and tbh they were great, but over the last year I’ve had some less than stellar service from them, with them backing out of agreed trade in values and always trying to find a fault and knock the price down. On the last occasions where I wanted to sell my Fuji X-T2 and 6 lenses ( which in my honest opinion were all boardering on mint (or excellent at worst), and on receiving the package they tried to knock (nearly £400) off the whole bundle for things that I just didn’t agree with. In the end I’d had enough and asked them to return all of the items to me (which they did), and I had to then split the sell up over a number of companies including a few items on here, and not one other person disagreeed with my condition assessment and all were happy with the condition. After that I swore I’d never use MPB photographic again, and I haven’t.
I also know there’s WEX, and TBH their prices aren’t too bad, but trouble is you don’t get cash, just WEX credit (which at times I just don’t want or need).
So question is are there any other reputable and reliable online retailers that give good service don’t try and screw you over ?
Thanks in advanced.
