This could be a funny question. But did you ever regreted selling old equipment because you haven't used lot of just because bought new one? I had sold a while ago a lens which after, I did regreted selling it, and also I sold it for almost free, even below half price of its price.

When I sell something, it's to buy a better thing ^^ I started with a nikon D60 then i sold for a D3100, sold for a D300, sold for a D7100 :) When i bought my mirrorless camera, i wanna sold my nikon D7100, but nobody wants to take it, so I decided to keep it. Result, I used it yesterday for familly pictures ^^ I keep my mirrorless for macro, and now, I use my reflex for portraits. No regrets ^^

The D7100 and D7200 are of the best nikon crop cameras! They have great dynamic range as an apsc system even today.

I do the same thing. I give away something to buy a better one. The only exception was the USSR lenses which were sold that time for something better that in fact, it wasn't. Now I try to keep what is 'good'. I sold my first Nikon D7200 and I bought it again this year, after 4-5 months.

I wouldn't sell them if I had it.

I've sold my efs18-200. And still regret it. I'm, with money that I got it, I added more and purchased my 100mm macro L.
