Hey everyone,
Currently I have a bunch of Olympus equipment and some Nikon equipment. I am thinking of selling my Olympus stuff and using the money to buy more Nikon stuff.
Question: What is the best venue to sell used camera equipment?

To get the most money you need to sell here on DPC, Ebay or Craigslist.
If you sell to a dealer they will want a substantial discount from retail so they can turn a profit.
I see you are from Texas, but you don't say where. Houston Camera Exchange and the Camera Co-op (both in Houston) sell used gear. They used to take consignments. You'd get a little more with consignments than selling it outright to the dealer.
Digital cameras older than a couple of years won't have much value in most cases. Lenses hold their value better.
Hope this helps. Good luck! |

I would try to sell them here on DPC first.

Another site that has a very active buy and sell forum us Fredmiranda.com. I think you need to be a paying member or there's a small fee to sell something. |

I've been pretty successful selling stuff here. Also, Amazon isn't a bad place to sell.

I second the FM recommendation.

coming from another Oly owner (who is thinking of jumping ship and going to Canon), I've had good luck with the buy/sell forum here
If I decide to stick with Oly I might be interested in your 50-200... PM me and let me know what you're asking for it...

I might've been interested in the Olympus stuff if I didn't buy a Rebel XT just this past weekend. I was seriously looking at the E-510 for a while. |

I can't find the classified section here. Anyone know how to get there to buy or sell used gear? Thanks. |

It's in the Members' section. |

Oh, so pay $5 to get in? Is it a good place to sell a Nikon 5000 Coolscan scanner you think? Thanks. |

I can vouch for the FM system. There's far more people on there than the DPChallenge equivalent so you should be able to sell your stuff faster for a better price.
I bought a 5d2, 70-200 2.8 IS, 27-70 L and a 50 1.4 all on FM for great prices and form great people.
FM= heartily recommended. |

You could also try the Flea Market forum on DGrin.com. User accounts at Digital Grin are free.

How odd, that after a gap of nearly a year and a half, you both spotted this spam within a few seconds of each other!
Or am I missing something? |

The funny thing is, if Mick didn't see what was posted before it was removed then saw the next posts he'd think he was reported for spamming. |

Same here. It's pretty active, but there is a fee. |
