I've been on this site for a while now and I am thinking about selling my Canon 7D with a total of 4 lens, spare battery, a Canon bag a book strictly for the 7D some Cf cards, etc. The lens are a Tamron SP 70-300 F4/5.6, Canon EF-S 55-250 1:4-5.6 with IS, and Canon EF 100mm 1:2.8 .. The Camera has taken close to 3000 pictures. Absolutely nothing wrong with any of the equipment. I have made the decision to go lighter. I still have my SX50HS which works good for most applications but I have chosen to get into the mirror less camera or ILC camera which I have purchased a Sony unit. My main question is am I better to sell it all for one price, which is what I would to do, and if so roughly what would be the fair market value or sell by the piece. There is a lot of very knowledge people on here so I want to pick some brains so to speak. I have taken some pictures but only plan on posting them if I do decide to cell.
Since none of your lenses are exceptional quality units I would suggest selling them separately. The likelihood of anyone wanting to buy the package for anything more than a lowball offer is slim.
Good luck.

Buying a package deal is good for the buyer, not so much for the seller. Take a look on ebay and check the Sold box to see what these items have actually sold for. Sometimes selling a group of non-super-valuable items is a quick and easy way to get rid of the things and get some money. Selling many things individually for a low price can be a nuisance.
I'd suggest you sell off the 7D body as soon as possible. Why, the new 7D Mark II will be on the market in November. When this happens the market will swarm with 7Ds. The price will be driven down, just by the shear numbers of the used cameras available. I may even sell mine, if the new 7D Mark II would be a better bang for the buck. Your lenses are not of stellar quality, and are just basic quality lenses. So, sell now. BTW. when the new 7D Mark II come available all the Canon EOS crop sensor cameras will drop down a notch in value on the used market.
Might consider selling the body with users choice of one telephoto lens (so they have a functioning camera from the start) then selling the remaining telephoto and 100mm separately.
eBay individual items with starting bid of 99 cents for 7 days. You'll get plenty of bidding and they will sell for best market price. Include great descriptions and lots of images, cover every angle including straight through each lens from each end.
I'd give the Buy and Sell forum a shot. Take some good pics of the equipment and list them here.
