Selling 35mm Pentax equipment

I have several Pentax lenses of various focal lengths which I am interested in selling. Can anyone tell me the best venue for selling them and how can I establish fair prices?

You could start by listing them here. Give full specification, cosmetic condition and optical condition. Photos would also be nice if you feel inclined.
The best venue to find buyers, IMHO, would be eBay. Success there would depend on how you present them as well as their price and condition. If you are not familiar with the use of eBay, I suggest that you run a search against similar items and see how others do it.
Good luck!

Another thing with Ebay is you can check on the Sold listings for your particular item and see what they have been selling for.

if nobody is willing to pay that price. A quick check of pentaxforum.com lists many items for sale but do any of them sell for the advertised price or sell at all? At least with the Ebay Sold listings (not the Completed ones) you know what the seller received for his item.

too much or too little; never a fair price; members of pentax forums do sell their equipment as do Nikonians, Photonet,
fredmiranda. I have sold on all these sites with positive results and without all the pitfalls of etsy, craigslist, ebay. I would recommend them to any Hog member.
