How to sell photography

Best Ways To Make Money Selling Photography:

Where can I sell old photography equipment?

And when I say old, I mean old! I have a lot of lenses from my humble beginnings in film photography. I have Canon FD lenses, compatible with their A series of film SLRs, that I'm looking to get rid of. Are there any sites, aside from ebay, that I can sell them off to? Like, a photography buy-sell-trade forum, or something? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. :D

1. KEH.com they buy used equipment. Don't expect too much money. FD lens don't work on modern cameras. Good luck.......
2. why not try to get them appraised. they may be worth something.
3. You can try classified ads, buy sell and trade, craigslist, or even taking it to a camera store and see it they'll buy it, or give you a credit for it. Good luck!
4. Since you don't indicate where you reside, I cannot give you anything area-specific. One option is a camera show, where people buy, sell and trade their gear. One here in New Jersey is held on the second Sunday of every month, with schedule adjustments for holidays; the April show, for example, will be held on April 19 because of Easter on the 12th. In addition to KEH, here are some other places to whom you may sell your gear: B&H Photo (NYC) http://www.bhphotovideo.com Adorama (NYC) http://www.adorama.com Used Camera Buyer (Ashland, VA) http://www.usedcamerabuyer.com. This is a division of Shutterblade (http://www.shutterblade.com), which sells used gear on eBay. I've sold gear to B&H, but not the others. Conversely, I've bought Hasselblad stuff from Shutterblad via eBay, and have never been dissatisfied, nor have I had problems. Another alternative would be to take the items to an eBay drop-off store, where they'll help you with listing it, and they'll cut you a check, less their fees, typically for about sixty cents on the dollar of the sale price. There's always the pawn shop route, too.
