However, just looking on eBay, they appear to be going in the $900 range (plus shipping).
I've not checked the local craigslist, but I"m guessing you could get that much just selling locally?

As for eBay, barring a sellers promotion, you're giving them 10% selling fees plus Paypal fees. Plus the time answering what are honestly a bevy of stupid questions.
The route with Adorama is just quick and easy, but not for everyone.
There is zero risk of getting scammed either.
Now I just have to figure out whether to sell my 5D4 as I intended... or actually sell my R.
On that note, Ebay is actually very pleasant compared to my dealings with Adorama used sales dept. I have posted that story here before which Craig deleted. I understand. There may be no scam or risk but it will not be the experience you think it is.
Oh and my 5D3 works just fine, worth WAY more to me than $700-900
Ebay can be a mixed bag. Who buys the gear can make all the difference, whether they are honest or not. I sold my last RF lens the other day on ebay. My 85mm. :cry: I can't begin to explain how relieved I was when the buyer sent me a note saying, "Perfect. Just like new. Best lens I ever had." That pretty much closed the door to him contesting anything. Most people are honest, but it just takes one guy to bigly and yugely ruin the day. Tremendously incredible. ;)
I used to use Ebay. I thought about dealing with Adorama/B&H for selling used gear, and even went as far as getting a quote over the phone. And then I tried KEH and have sold several items that way.
I think I had a similar experience. Make sure you realize that the price they quote you as the value of your gear is not what you will get, but what they base their 30% profit on.
Same with B&H.
Always a risk no matter how you get rid of equipment that something will go wrong or you will feel like something went wrong. Just realize you'll probably get a little less than what Adorama quoted you once they get it and discover it's not the grade you think it was. Everyone thinks their gear is Mint+, and it rarely is.
Hi CanonFanBoy!
Hey, I had the same problem with eBay a couple of times. Do you know of an alternative for eBay? I wonder if you had some experience and/or success with a similar site. I would love to learn from your experience.
Thanks mate!
