    Hey Guys,

    I'm curious if anyone knows of any good places to offload camera lenses, that isn't Ebay. I have no account at Ebay, and I'm not willing to set one up just to sell two camera lenses.

    The two lenses are Canon lenses, don't remember the exact ones, but I know they are not IS. I figure I won't get too much for them, but any little bit will help with the purchase of one of the nice IS USM Canon lenses.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Craigslist. I've sold plenty on there. And - no commissions. :)

    +1 for craigslist

    very easy to list what you're selling, and you can list it locally.

    fredmiranda is a great forum to list your gear, I have bought and sold there often.
    dgrin.com also has a b/s forum

    FM is $25 a year to post in the b/s forums, just an FYI

    Thanks for the other suggestions guys. The specific lenses are, both in basically perfect condition.

    Canon Zoom Lens EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 III (retail ~$160 @ amazon)

    Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II (seems to be the standard lens for the last gen dSLRs)

    And it looks like I could get about $120 for both through the costco trade-in program. Do you think I could get anymore than that by selling them through craigslist or one of those websites?

    That's not a bad price, I'd do it. You probably wouldn't get much more selling online with paying for shipping and PayPal fees.
