You might try selling it here in the classified section, I have both bought and sold here and all transactions were pleasant experiences. I have never tried to sell with one of the used dealers such as B&H, Adorama, or KEH simply because they have to make too much profit on your gear to give you what I would consider to be a fair price.

My experience with B&H was great. I liked the web page where you enter the information and get an estimate. The estimate is subject to change, of course, based on their definition of condition and yours.

I was realistic and received the amount I expected. I've read on UHH of two people who actually received more than they thought they would! B&H pays shipping and they will pay to return if you don't like what they ultimately offer.

A B&H buyer works a show I attend and he is fair. Your gear gets a professional inspection and evaluation, the results are entered in the computer and a price is displayed. The dealer is paying you a wholesale price, selling here will likely bring more.

It worked great for a camera and lens I had. I described them to B&H. B&H sent an email with an estimated price. When they got the camera they decided it was in better condition than my description and offered me a higher price.

Be forewarned that, with the rapid advancement of camera technology, used market values can be a lot lower than we want.

It is easy enough to unload unwanted gear to one of the big stores, but one will take a significant hit.
