Looking to upgrade to 5D Mk III. What to do with old RSS L-bracket?

I've been using a RRS L-bracket to mount my camera on my tripod. If I buy a new camera, I have to buy a new bracket to fit it. I can sell my old camera on eBay, but I'm curious what do people usually do with their old brackets. Does anybody know?

When I search through eBay for RRS brackets for Canon 5D MK III and Nikon D800, I see nearly none being sold. When looking at entries for the camera bodies themselves, many sellers include batteries and other accessories as bonuses to attract buyers, but I never see brackets being included.

So my question is, what are people doing with their old brackets when they move to a new camera? I mean these things are not cheap ($140 new from RRS). I'm pretty sure RRS doesn't have a trade-in program (please correct me if I'm wrong), so where are people selling their old brackets?

Thanks!
 
I see them pop up on Craigslist sometimes. I do know one person who used an L-bracket, two clamps, and a Wimberley Sidekick to make a gimbal head for his monopod, to use with a 600/4L IS II.
