Over the years have tried often, but imo, they are much better for BUYING than selling.
If you list properly on FB marketplace [locally] or sites like UHH you have a better chance of getting the current market value and avoid associated fees. In general, supply and demand dictate buying prices. Good quality gear, with OEM boxes and condition, usually yields the highest prices, like in any marketplace...
Good luck
Hi ! Let me know about your D 500 and 200-500 lens .
I think you are sending the wrong person a message? I don't own either of the items you are requesting a price...
I do have a listing but it is for a Canon 5DmkIII body... thanks

Has anyone tried selling their Nikon cameras and lenses to B&H or KEH?
Yes. You are better off selling here or ebay or Amazon. You can also try MPB.
Hope this helps.

Hi. What gear do you still have for sale?

My preferred reseller is UsedPhotoPro, the used equipment division of Roberts Camera. I suggest adding them to your list if you go that route.
However, selling here is my first choice. Lately, there have been a few really annoying people who will try to lowball the seller, but for the most part the transactions are cordial and satisfactory. For pricing, check eBay and filter to the <Sold> items to see the going prices. For UHH, I try to hit at the reasonable lower end of that scale.
You as the seller will be hit with a roughly 3% fee if PayPal is used, and shipping will vary by location. You can choose to absorb these, or keep them separate for the buyer to pick up. However, there are no fees from UHH, unlike the fees charged by Bay.
Whether you want to consider lower offers is up to you. Selling loved gear, like selling a house, is always hard. Be prepared that you will never get as much for it as you think you “should.”
Best of luck with your selling.
