Please tell me where is it better to sell a professional camera with lenses?

Personally assuming we are talking about some real value I would find a specialist forum or group that allows sales and try there. So perhaps a forum dedicated to photography, or to the camera make. 

I try to search, but I would like to know the verified places

GabbaGabbaHey

Most photographic (and other) forums require you to have been a member for a reasonable period of time, and to have posted a number of times (3 months and 50 posts is not unusual) before you can offer goods for sale.
https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/  is probably the best known of the UK photographic forums.
You could also try London Camera Exchange or MPB Photographic, both of whom will offer you a reasonably risk-free sale.

Gumtree face to face cash sale.
Ebay will be a risk as will anywhere that wants to pay by PayPal If its a high value item.

I think cex would buy the camera as I did see like a frame they were selling or the body of a cam but not sure if they would give a good price

Hey man just use these sites
*Facebook marketplace- no middle man or fees, straight up cash, bank transfer or PayPal
*gumtree - same as Facebook 
*shpock- more secure than Facebook and gumtree
*ebay- secure but you have to pay PayPal and Ebay fee (optional delivery fee if doing postage yourself)

Take good pictures of the camera and lens, showing all details. Put down in the description any marks, scratches, dents.
When selling and buyer is using cash, be careful with fake notes, DON'T accept £50. All other cash need to be plastic made with see-through. 

When arranging meet ups from Facebook or Gumtree, be safe! If they are a couple, male and female is fine. But beware of males couples or groups.
Meet up in a crowded safe area!

Also on Facebook marketplace, when someone wants to arrange to come, DON'T give your full address, a lot of people claim they will turn up, and end up not doing so. Just give them street name and postcode but not door number.

Thanks, I have not seen the London Camera Exchange yet. MPB has slightly understated prices compared to ebay
