Best place to sell camera equipment?

Anyone have any tips for selling secondhand camera equipment? (local ads are no use round here). We're pretty desperate for money - I have a manfrotto tripod and olympus lens to sell. The lens seems to sell for about £70+ if you're lucky. What's amazon like? I can't seem to find any information on whether you need to include box/instructions as I don't have these.

    You can check completed listings on ebay to see what sort of prices you can expect. Take off all your fees from that and make sure you are left with enough, otherwise try one of the high street shops that buy second hand camera stuff.

    Thanks for replying....

    I've taken the advice of mike230652 from the link in my previous post. I'll be selling on ebay but I'll sell the lenses and other accessories seperately. The lenses are actually 3 or 4 times more than the price of the camera!
