Our take

Brighton-based MPB’s used camera and photo equipment marketplace has been going through a period of rapid growth of late, reflecting the European used goods marketplace as a whole.

The company joins the likes of Wallapop (Spain) and Vestiaire Collective (France) in a coterie of second-hand buy & sell platforms that have risen in popularity, and received major funding as a result. While used goods platforms have always been very popular online, MPB and its ilk’s niche market approach is paying off. The public conscience surrounding sustainability and circular economies no doubt plays a role in this.

However, the main factor behind the company's sharp growth may be the rise of online content creators, which has created a greater demand than ever for quality film and photo equipment. With no sign of demand slowing for MPB’s platform, the company is aiming to ramp up operations across its locations in Brighton, Berlin, and Brooklyn, and possibly expand further afield.
