Where does one go to trade or rent lenses?

I have a D7000 with the 18-105mm kit lens which has VR and would like to trade or sell the 70-300mm lens I also have for one with VR.

Thanks everybody!

I've never rented one, but I've been tempted. Here are some choices. https://www.google.com/search?q=lens+rental

As for trading, Adorama, B&H, and KEH all deal in used equipment, so I would give them a try. From what I've heard here, they offer fair prices and pay quickly.

To rent lens, the best I have found is lens giant. they have the best service and selection of lens that is second to none for canon and nikon cameras. If you need it , they have got it. Also shipping is both ways, to and from their shop, so don't let it scare you!

I have used borrowlenses.com and TheLensDepot.com

Both are good - I think The Lens Depot is easier to do the return as you pay when ordering for the shipping both ways. Drop off at any FedEx location.

I trade on craiglist all the time and resell on ebay, or visa versa.

In the past few weeks I bought a 50mm 1.4 af-d lens for 200 on craigs, resold for 250 on ebay.

I also bought a 50mm 1.8 af-d for 51$ on ebay, resold for 94 on ebay.. :)
