Where would you go to sell used equimpment, lenses, camera bodies, etc and get the best deal? Retailer, B&H, Craig's List, ???

Why not market your photo stuff to a ready made audience already interested in what you may have? I'm talking about posting the items here in the Ugly Hedgehog Classified section.

there is a section right here for that, or ebay. I do not know what city you are in, but craigs list can be risky in some areas, assuming you have high dollar equipment for sale.

KEH is also a very reputable dealer of used gear - of course if you sell to them (or B&H et al) you won't get as much as selling directly on eBay or Craigslist, but then you have no risk.

You'll get the best price on eBay. I've bought and sold there for years with no problems. Lots of potential buyers, but there is a small risk of a bad deal.
You should try the classified on UHH first. You may get close to the eBay price with less risk, but the potential buyer pool is much smaller.
Retailers like Adorama or KEH will offer less since they need to resell at a profit.

I have sold on ebay for over 10 years, sold and bought over 800 items and have never been disappointed with my results. Plus when I sell I start the bid at what I need to get out of it, if is sells, fine, if not, I listed it for free. I add the commission on to what I want out of it. I buy Mint and sometimes sell it a year later and lose very little.

When I think it's time to get rid of anything, I put it on ebay, and it's gone in a week. Before you list an item, do a search for it and click on "Sold items" at the bottom of the left column. You'll see what people have actually paid for it. I don't like waiting for people to respond to a want ad. Deciding what to charge and then haggling over the price don't appeal to me.

Ive sold mine on here really fast but if you are looking to upgrade at the same time. B&H and Adaroma both take trade-in and will lower the cost of your new equipment.

I second the opinion that fredmiranda.com is a great site and has the most photo enthusiasts with excellent feedback buying and selling photo gear.

I have used B&H to sell my used photo equipment. They offer a good price.

It depends. If you have the time, I would sell it on Ebay.Maximum return. That is what I do. If not consider B&H or KEH.

I had been using Craigs List ( no fee ) and eBay, but then I realized I could do that on UHH; listed two items and sold them very quicklyl
