I have dealt with Adorama, KEH, and MPB, and they were all pretty close

HERE. And use Paypal, it protects you and the buyer.

UHH (here) .If you want to deal with an official "business" I've found www.mpb.com offers a slightly higher financial return than B&H, Adorama or KEH, however, I'm thinking it really comes down to what you are trying to sell, & if they really have a need to restock their supplies

Over the years I have sold all my equipment at E Bay. I remember selling two Canon 600/f4 lens I got almost as much as I paid for them, and double what B and H offered. I sold each for near $6000 Be sure to use PayPal to protect your sale. And dont sell overseas with out confirmed payment first. Lots of scams there. I send all my equipment into Canon to have it checked and cleaned first.

Cost effective and selling to a reseller is apposed to each other. The best price is to sell directly to a person who wants it. When you sell to a reseller you are sell to a place the will sell it at a price above what you sold it to them and they make a profit. Selling to them is not bad if you know this and just want to get rid of it quick and easy.

I’ve sold here and on eBay, US only. eBay has a bigger audience.

Also sold on Nextdoor thread.

Stay away from Craig’s list.

I have bought and sold here on UHH with 100% satisfactory results. No fees. I have bought one time on ebay with good results. I have sold on another photography site with good results. I personally would not sell camera gear on ebay due to the unscrupulous buyers who ebay will always side with. My SO sells some on ebay with great results ,but not glass or electronics, or high end stuff. Try here and if no results, go elseware. Price fairly with good photos and it will sell, if recent gear.

Thanks for that. I wasn’t aware of them.

They offered $300 for my D5600. They sell them for about $450.

I offered here for $380 including shipping. So far no takers.

Adorama offered $210.
