Best place to sell science equipment/kits?

[Snapdragon]

This is a problem I've been wrestling with for awhile now! I told my mom I would help her sell all of the old science equipment she had, and I'm kind of drawing a blank of where would be best to sell.

It's all science stuff that she used during her time as a home school teacher, and it varies from about a middle-school range to high school. It's a mix of pipettes, glass beakers and general chemistry supplies along with several pre-made "science kits" that came in a box with all of the supplies needed. Some of them are still in the plastic wrapping! The topics vary from geology to electricity to physics to chemistry!

I was originally thinking eBay, but would used science equipment be of any use there? I know we have some homeschooling moms, is there a better way to unload/sell homeschool supplies? I'm looking for feedback before I spend hours photographing all of this stuff, and this is one more way to procrastinate on that, LOL!

Thanks for the help!

I would stick with offering it to other homeschool programs - perhaps a tutoring company like Sylvan Learning? 

Shipping that kind of stuff is heavy and it has a high risk of being broken in the post.  Or buyers can easily claim damage for a full refund. 

Best of luck!  If I wasn't so far away I would love to take you up on this!

I have no idea. Is there a group for homeschool kids/parents in your area? Some of them might be interested.

What about local schools?
