I have had a HUGE GAS problem over the past 5-10 years buying equipment that I thought I needed, and now own 3 Canon camera bodies and an arsenal of 17 lenses. My wife and children think that I am totally crazy for having all this equipment, most of which I hardly, if ever use, and I am starting to feel the same way.
My goal is to eliminate, replace or consolidate most of my arsenal with just a couple of useful lenses that combine the focal lengths of those below. The following lenses are what I would consider parting with to perform this consolidation:
Canon EF 24mm f2.8
Tokina EF 100mm f/2.8 True 1:1 Macro
Canon EF 135mm f2.8 Soft Focus
Opteka EF-S 6.5mm f3.5 Fisheye
Canon EF 17-40 f4 L USM
Canon EF 24-85mm f3.5-4.5 USM
Canon EF 24-105 f4 IS L USM
Tamron EF 28-300 F3.5-6.3 AF VC A20 Macro
Tokina EF 80-400 F4.5-5.6

All of my lenses are in exceptionally excellent condition, and work perfectly. No damage of any kind either externally or internally. All glass is clear of any scratches, fungus, dust or dirt of any kind. I would like to sell these lenses to be able to have enough money to purchase a Canon, Sigma or Tamron 24-70 f/2.8, plus a Sigma or Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 with image stabilization. I am willing to accept trades if anyone has these two lenses to trade for any or all of my lenses. I would also consider valid offers for any or all of the above.
Thank you,
Mike.
Well that's at least half of your lenses collection. Yes, GAS is sometimes incurable. Good luck on selling and parting with them.

Mike, there IS a cure for such GAS...., but when you're cured, you'll have no need for worldly possessions of ANY kind!!! Good LUCK!!!

I read your post twice before it was clear these are the lenses you're selling ... You probably should edit, a feature of the 'for sale' section - updating the both the title and the content adding sales prices. The post currently reads like a post from the main photography section.
Just a thought. Trade in at Adorama or B&H or sale in E-Bay
