\u2018The priority has been ensuring the safety of our staff, particularly those in the warehouses in the UK and US, so we\u2019ve changed our working patterns,\u2019 Barker (below, in a file picture) explains. Unlike some retailers, however, MPB is not going in for discounting to stimulate demand.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

\u2018I don\u2019t agree with online businesses pushing and discounting at the moment as they are just going to put undue stress into their warehouse operations; pushing volume sales at the moment doesn\u2019t make sense. Also, we adjust prices all the time and our pricing is correct for the market. Therefore we can promise that all customers buying at MPB are always getting the best possible price.\u2019<\/p>\n

Barker stresses that MPB is one of few businesses still paying out cash for used gear, rather than credit\/vouchers. \u2018People have a lot of money invested in their kit, so there is an opportunity to sell now and buy back later to help with personal cash flow.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

We can pick up people\u2019s gear safely via courier and get cash into their accounts. Selling via eBay or Facebook is much more challenging.\u2019 MPB is also reaching out to photographers via blogs and social media to put a \u2018positive voice\u2019 back into the market.
