John and Cody,
Remembering also using EBay and PayPal, there can be additional fees such as taxes, shipping and handling fees.
Another option can be using Facebook venues. Several friends I have use Facebook to sell equipment.
Local swap meets are a good way to sell as you don’t have a lot of the fees and other issues.
Some local clubs will accept donations and give donation receipts for tax purposes in return.
