I know exactly what you are talking about. I have that times 2, why is to much, but never enough.

At my senior age, if my wife or I can't find a use for it, clothes, toys, old slides, old photos, etc we look at it, thank it for the service it gave us, and pass it on. I keep looking at my wife looking at me and wondering what she is thinking.

I would more then willing to donate to a UHH sponsered Ebay site with proceeds going to charities.

A larger table would solve this problem until that one filled up too.

Or just clear all furniture out of the room, put floor to ceiling shelves around the walls and when those are full put stuff on the floor. Unless you go to an auction of an out of business camera store and win it all because no one else showed up that should take you a while to fill.

I second that. I am sure there is someone that can use my surplus photo equipment.

Trying to remember what it all connects to and why I either use it or have it, keeps me entertained in my old age. Thought about getting a label maker and some cable labels, but then all the fun is gone!

How do you sell on this site.

I went to an estate sale once upon a time. The auction folks had arranged the good stuff on tables, all labeled for value, etc. In a 2nd floor room I found the guy's photo stuff. 20 foot long stack of 16x20 mounted prints, camera accessories as in your pile, all of the Cokin filters ever made, even boxes of the Kodak yellow & black series-filters from the 1950s. In a couple of days the real estate folks would have his treasures sent to the dump.
I tried selling my stuff at a photo swap meet; didn't make enough money to pay for the table rental.
I sent a list to B&H for a trade towards something new; the estimated value was an insult— but it helped empty the 4 Coleman chests of gear. My kids, armed with smartphones and Snapseed equipped tablets don't want my camera gear, computers, editing system or images, TV and sound system, or even my cars— too much hassle required to run this old gear.
The bank gets the house; the real estate folks get to deal with everything else. Lots of good advice, and some good quotes, in the recommendations above. I used to pride myself in back-packing light. Where did all this stuff come from!?!

The route that I am going to take. Thank you sir.

Another student in a photo class I took in the 70's drove through Beverly Hills to bypass a jam on the freeway and saw a yard sale. He stopped to see what a BH yard sale looked like. Turned out the lady's brother had died, had a photo studio in Hollywood and she was selling his stuff for charity. Didn't have the slightest idea of the value - he got a Hassie for $35 and one of the other guys left school and flew over there, he got a Leica for the same price.
