MAY I SUGGEST Students in photo programs in elementary, high school and college programs that still require some darkroom practice as likely prospects. Put up flyers with your number at the bottom on school bulletin and posting boards.
But be warned. $50 sounds pretty good. Remember, the market for SLRs is depressed, and students will be looking for a deal. But my thinking is, if a dealer offers you $50, that means he plans to sell it for $100-150, to get his markup. A student MIGHT give you $75 for it, and that would be a must-accept offer in today's market.
Good luck.

If the photo store offered $50, they need to add their markup. This suggests the "street value" is around $100. But if a person can view and buy the same camera at a store for $100, they are not likely to buy it unseen through eBay for the same price.
So, the reality is that you can probably get $50 for it on eBay. People are simply not buying low end consumer film cameras these days. Sorry the news is not better.

You don't say what brand and model the SLR is. I am buying SLRS for anywhere from $15 to $35 dollars depending upon what pieces of glass come with it. I only buy certain brands, and I only buy older models. I have them cleaned and put new foam on them unless they need more repairs, then I put a guarantee on them and sell them for quite a bit more.
Let me know what brand and model and I can give you a basic price.
SLRs are not bringing a good price these days, you can buy them for almost nothing.

You have two great cameras, unfortunately it is a buyer's market for film cameras. I don't think you're going much for your stuff. You can try out KEH Used Cameras and see what happens, but don't expect a whole lot.

B&H Photo in New York buys used SLR cameras. They grade them and sell them for you, leaving you with a percentage. Also, you can sell almost anything on Amazon.com. They also take a percentage, but you have agood chance of selling it.

Try an ad in the newspaper or a free ad in a neighborhood paper of some sort.
Craig's list.
A flyer with a picture and description on bulletin boards.

Donate it to a charity and take the fair market value off your taxes. You'll end up with about $50 in your pocket.

Outer Mongolia? If anybody offers anything, grab and run. I got a buggy whip I'll let you have cheap. How about a nice flint chipping stone?
