And if not selling - even the moment to empty the dusty place the "no longer in use" camera occupied is so satisfying that I don't hesitate to follow occasionally some shocking samples.
A photographer at the end of his life offered his Hasselblad including lenses to the last trainee he had accepted
Another guy gave all his Nikon stuff to his daugther who tries to make a living as photographer, so he had an excuse to start again with Sony but less gear.
I gave a D5100 with a macro lens to a friend who likes to take pictures, is not always satisfied with her iPhone and has really the gift to see pictures. A camera which has no material value to me anymore can still make somebody else happy and start the adventure.
