Is there somewhere recommended to sell equipment? I have this camera for sale!
Recently, I had an18mm crop sensor lens. I contacted MPB and they responded quickly. I completed all the forms on line. I shipped the Lens and they deposited a check into my bank account. No muss and no fuss!
You can also try KEH or B&H and even here on the Hog!
I found MPG to offer more than KEH. I have used both. The last lens I sold I personally graded as Very Good at MPG they re-rated as Excellent and gave me more. When you sell used equipment be ready to get a lower amount than you think it is worth because they need to clean, sell and ship. This is true of all used equipment
What do you want for it and what does it come with? Do you know the shutter count? Photos?
You can also list items on Fred Miranda’s site, although you need to pay a small monthly fee for listing. You will likely get closer to retail than wholesale for your item if someone wants to buy it.

When I hit 75, I decided I would downsize all my equipment. I had several Canon bodies and red line lenses. I decided I could get more for the equipment if I sold them myself. I listed them, not all at once, on the local Craigslist. I met the buyers at a local McDonalds. Never had a problem, always received what I asked. Excellent experience all around. The thing about selling to a retail establishment is that you will never get as much as you will if you sell them yourself. After all, they have to make a profit. Good luck!

That's how I do it. If for some reason it doesn't sell on Craigslist, I put it on eBay and it always sells there. But on eBay they take about a 12% cut and you have to box, package, insure and pay for shipping unless you make the buyer pay for all that.....
22 years on eBay... MPB buys low, B&H & Keh the same... but IF you are not adept at selling on eBay, don't... you go to eBay and other sites to find SOLD PRICES for the item, in the same condition you have...then post on FB marketplace and or CL and ask a fair low price, nobody is interested in paying high... they are looking for a decent bargain... once you know the price, be firm...IF priced correctly, you will definitely get interested buyers... always meet in a nearby local public place... ONLY cash, done. IF you have good gear, like that canon there will be folks interested..good luck ... just like a used car/truck... the better models, condition tend to get a little higher resale value... if the camera has been used a LOT, then it will not... the big questions will be: condition, number of accuations [ every camera body has a rated number max, similar to miles on an engine], are you the original owner, do you still have the box... all these factors will affect someones willingness to pay more or less.

I have kept and stored boxes for every piece of gear I own. It just feels like it's worth more that way.
