Best method of selling used camera gear?
Discussion
Hi all,
Having recently sold some items on eBay I was slightly miffed off at their fees,
I have several lenses and bodies that I want to sell on but now hesitant to put the remainder on eBay because of said fees, sadly I would imagine most shops are out of the question as I'm looking to raise funds rather than P.ex against anything new
Do most people on here just suck up the fees and use eBay?

I stick with ebay because while the fees are relatively high it hits a fairly large audience and so far touchwood I've not had anyone pull a fastie on me.
I get the feeling with some forums that some of the members think they're onto a discount for being a forum member and see it as their duty to appraise the item I'm selling then give their ideal buy price. Usually that's around 30% less than what it'd sell for on the bay

I've tried Talk Photography for selling a couple of times, but found it a bit of a pain with people questioning why I wanted to sell it etc., which then put off anybody else from taking an interest! And if it's not absolutely mint then nobody seems interested. With ebay as said there is a larger audience at least.
