Ok, you guys tell me what I should do differently to get some sort of interest on my lenses I am selling. Should I post more pictures or certain angles, more info....Am I overpriced even with me lowering some?? How do I stand out and sell these so I can get the equipment I want before I am no longer able to use it?? Photography for me is medicinal, I have many things photography wise I want to learn, try and do well at while I am able too. I have loved it since I was a little girl!! Switching over to a FF camera is one of my bucket list items... My health is not the "greatest" and I also have this very titanium spine that reminds me of its presence. The use of my hands and fingers is nothing more than a blessing and nothing I take for granted for anymore! For any chronic pain sufferers out there, do you find photography helpful? Some PT for me is working with the camera and lenses, setting up my shots, editing and doing it all again. I fight hard to ignore it all through my photography. I go for a PET/CT scan and will be there for a long time however I will stay busy reading photography topics and looking at others art work. ANY suggestions about what to do differently would be appreciated. Oh, I don't really want to go to Ebay for this either or use craigslist. Sadly there are those who have nothing better to do than to try and scam others so I am pretty cautious...Thanks!!

Have you considered selling or trading to one of the big retailers or MPB or KEH.
Look on Ebay and see what your stuff has actually been selling for to get an idea of what the real market value is (Average it out).
Beyond that you have set limited parameters.
Good luck.

In our area we still have a really good photography store. They sell new and used gear of all types, and do a pretty consistent business. They will take your gear on consignment, and charge you a fee when it sells. They can also advise you on the price you can expect to receive, so that you have realistic expectations. This might take some time to get everything sold. For a quicker turnaround, there are also places like KEH and B&H that will offer you a fair price for your equipment. Keep in mind this will be a “wholesale” price, as they have to make a profit when they resell.
Good luck.

Perhaps you could get a fair trade on them at a camera shop if you buy your new smaller camera from them although a majority of the smaller cameras are crop sensor so the choices may be a bit limited.

Crop sensor and micro 4/3 size cameras are quite fantastic with today's technology and many of the sports, wildlife, and macro photographers swear by them and the lenses are far less expensive than FF lenses as well.

For what it's worth, I have a Nikon DSLR (D810) full-frame and a Fujifilm (X-T20) mirrorless crop sensor camera. I bought a $35 Nikon to Fujifilm lens adapter and now I can shoot my collection of Nikon lenses on both cameras and other than the field of view of the images taken I doubt one could tell a difference.

I wish you well and hope that your passion for the camera will bring you the joy that it has for so many others including myself.

Here is one alternative - selling thru a vendor called “MPB.com”

I think most likely the price is too high. If you don't have enough pictures people who are interested in will ask for more.

You are competing with places like BnH. They have a 30 day return policy so if there is anything wrong with the equipment you can return it.

You are a photographer selling to other photographers! GOOD PHOTOS HELP SALES!
Make sure that you have dynamic a composition with interesting reflections in the GLASS! Induce a GAS attack in you potential buyers. Look at the lens ads in photography magazines for more ideas. Here's one I used to sell my old film gear...worked well!

Yeah, I thought I was close if not below what E-bay has. I am going to consider the "big" retailers. I am going to take a ton of pics and try to repost individually and see what happens. (fingers crossed)! Thank you kindly for your reply!

Navywife66 Loc: NC

I have not really seen any places around where we live that I can go to. I am considering consignment but that I think is last resort. Thank you for your helpful reply!!

Navywife66 Loc: NC

Thanks! I don't have a place near me that sells cameras. Those days of having them close are sadly gone.....Thank you for your kind wishes too!!

Navywife66 Loc: NC

I am going to give them a try and "see" what they offer! Thank you for taking the time to reply!

Navywife66 Loc: NC

I am going to post all individualizing each aspect and a fair price...
Thanks again for your helpful post!

Navywife66 Loc: NC

But so many buy off here without that guarantee...I am 100% confident in my equipment because I have babied it. Thank you for your time and post, have a good evening.

You have made a valid point indeed! LOL..I know it just I have seen sales on here with minimal pics so I didn't think much of it until I didn't get any interested parties! I love your idea too, thanks!! You have yourself a wonderful evening!!
