Does anyone know how to price used camera equipment for re-sale?

I have a Pentax K-30 DSLR that I've used twice. I have four lenses: a Pentax 18-55 mm zoom, a Pentax 50-200 mm zoom, an Ultimaxx 52 mm wide angle lens, and an Ultimaxx 52 mm telephoto lens.

Do you know how to price this stuff? Do you know of any websites that might do it for me? I plan to put it on Craigslist; hopefully it'll be someone's perfect gift.

You can buy used equipment there. They also buy your equipment. Regardless, whether or not you want to sell it to them, you can go to their website to see what the price range is for your equipment. Depends on condition, etc..

I have used them several times for lenses and camera (i bought a canon eos 5D mark IV from them before as well as various lenses )

A competitor to mpb. Both are quite reputable in the camera community.

Like the previous poster stated, they will give you a quote for yours and buy it, or you can see what they are charging retail to price yours to sell on your own. You can likely sell it on your own for more than they will offer you, but it is certainly easier to sell it to them and be done with it.

But I just found my camera for sale at Walmart with one lens: $779.

I'm offering it with four lenses, two rechargeable batteries, assorted filters, a flash, the manual, and a case.

click "sold items".

This will give you an indication how much the item actually sold for, rather than what they were listed at.
