    Separate or mixed lot on eBay?
    I hope this is the right forum for this question.

    I have been looking over my equipment and I'm seriously thinking of selling it all and starting over with one camera, maybe something from the Olympus PEN series. I'm just a hobbyist, and I want one camera/lens for general purpose use. I'm considering listing on eBay, as I've used it many times before and have 100% positive feedback. My question is, am I better off splitting this up into 4 auctions, or doing one large mixed lot? Thoughts on about how much you think I can get for this equipment? All are used but gently, all have cases, manuals, cables, etc.

    ~700 on the first, maybe $50 on the second with a broken flash, ~$120 on third, no clue on the fourth, maybe $200....

    Those are my guesses anyway,

    Ok, so about $1000 or so total. Probably a good estimate. Do you think I'd need to do 4 auctions or better to try for one mixed lot? Thanks!

    Definitely not all together, but seperated in the 4 groups you've done. I might seperate out some of the Nikon gear, that might increase your bidding by $100 or so.

    Nikon D40
    Quantatray (Sigma) 18mm-200mm 6.3 (w/UV filter) w/case
    Opteka grip with 2 batteries
    Carrying Case
    Full-size tripod
    Kingston 4 GB SDHC
    ------------------------------
    Nikkor 35mm 1.8 (w/UV filter)
    ------------------------------------
    Nikon SB-400 flash with STO-FEN and case
    Promaster 7500 EDF flash

    The 18-200 is more marketable as a kit lens, and the 35 has a more uniquely pursued value.

    Generally speaking, you will get more selling the items individually.
