I've also sold no longer used stuff using the same channels sometimes regretting afterwards. This has allowed me access to other gear I wanted to actually use, have used and still do. All in all, I've been losing money of course, but I have had moments of great pleasure and satisfaction with gears past too, which has to have a price. Now, what have you got on your shelves that you no longer use? What lens or body would you like to actually use tonight on that shoot that you don't own? Do the bills balance? Yes? Go for it. It has nothing to do with profits, just recouping the cost of a park to fund my picture making hobby. If I want to make profits I buy wine :-) Amiti?s Philippe One sees clearly only with the heart.
