If you sell it to a dealer you get the low wholesale price but it easy, quick, tidy, and over. If you sell it yourself probably E-*** would be the way to go but then you have the learning curve if you don't use it plus setting up a Pay-pal account, it may not sell, the purchaser might claim that you didn't identify the scratch under the mirror that is plainly visible with the dental mirror and demand funds back, blah, blah, blah. This is simple capitalism, for pain there is gain. You will have to be the judge of profit/convenience curve. I can tell you that for common items the dealer will offer you something like 40% of the eventual selling price even if the equipment is in good condition. My personal opinion is that for something like a Rebel the difference in price isn't worth the pain, if you have a 1N and a 400 2.8 then sell it yourself as the spread is significant.
