If I need a product that’s nonetheless in manufacturing, it would not make any sense to purchase secondhand, as a result of I can practically all the time purchase it cheaper, model new, from the HK gray exporter that has served me effectively for 10 years.
If I wish to promote a product, MPB will give me a superb value, and it is good to know that they will completely examine it and supply an correct description to whoever buys it from them sooner or later.
The one time after I personally would purchase a secondhand merchandise from *anybody*, is when that merchandise is discontinued or unavailable new (e.g. EF 180mm macro, or earlier iteration huge whites), and that’s after I’d purchase from MPB.
