Just meandered over to this site. https://www.mpb.com/en-us/Are they new? I never heard of them. Anybody bought or sold there?

No, I never heard of them. Looks like they sell only digital gear. My favorite place to buy is National Camera Exchange, although KEH can be good too.

They're legit.
They're a European company expanding to the US. I sold a bunch of gear to them, their buyback prices were generally but not always better than B&H's, plus they take a variety of more exotic stuff that B&H does not, such as my old GP-E2 GPS receiver for Canon.
Their procedures are a bit old-fashioned (not through the website, entirely through email). They send you a FedEx shipping label for your stuff, check the condition then pay you by check.
In most cases you will be better off selling on eBay, but if you're in a hurry or don't want to deal with the hassle, they are an option worth considering.

I've seen their advert in the photo mags. It never says where they are based out of, so I didn't bother to check them out.

I have: bought a Sony A7II - excellent condition, came with a Ravpower charger and two spare batteries. Only flaw (as was pointed out in description) was a torn eyepiece rubber. I have also bought a couple of m-4/3 lenses (Panasonic 14mm f/2.5, 20mm f/1.7 mk II) and both were optically flawless. If anything I would say their descriptions are on the conservative side of accurate. Prices are good and they frequently offer discounts.
YMMV, of course, but I would have no qualms about buying from them again.

I bought a GoPro second hand from them. We've also exchanged some emails when I attempted to exchange my D700 for some Fuji gear but made up my mind. They are fairly new (as in, I've learned about them 2 years ago), based in Brighton in the UK. I've only heard good things and my experience with them was good. It seems like they are expanding.
