I strongly recommend National Camera Exchange (NCE). I have sold (and purchased) thousands of $$$ of gear from them. They are top tier in terms of service and reliability like B&H, Adorama, etc., yet instead of the 50 cents on the dollar off of current used value the big names typically offer, NCE typically will give you 65 - 70%. To get to the true current used value of your gear, go onto eBay and get the average actual eBay selling price (not the average asking price) of each of your items in comparable condition to your items.
I used eBay to successfully sell a 1-year old Nikon D810 and its battery grip for a total of about $1,300. It's a fairly easy process, but you need to take your own good photos of the merchandise as well as write copy for your "ad." Why not trying to sell a few pieces on eBay and see how it goes? It's fun to see your "ad" online and watch the bidding process, and you might make more money than selling to the usual KEH, MPB, Robert's Used Photo Pro, etc. If you can't get the "reserve" price you want on eBay, you can always default back to the usual online camera equipment buying companies. eBay customer service personnel are generally very sympathetic and helpful in explaining how the process works if you haven't done it before. I've also sold lenses to the usual suspects including trade-ins at camera stores, but always felt the prices I got were lower than they should have been.

How much do you want for the 5D and lenses. What lenses are they. I might be interested. How old is the camera and how much has it been used?
I posted a list with purchase dates. The usage has been light, it's all in excellent condition. I want to get the best price so let me know if interested. Bob
KEH is usually higher.

Hmm, it must be a supply and demand thing. All that I've sold has been to MPB and the quotes were about 10% higher than KEH.
You can always try eBay. If you haven’t used it, they allow reserves so you’re safe at getting a fair price.
Give the stuff to my daughter to sell. She is amazing at her yield. I am talking tongue in cheek. She offers products to her network on social media.
Look on eBay completed sales to find realistic prices. Total commission is 12.9%.
