We did this for about a year and quit.
It takes a lot of time and has very little reward, especially if you have to share the return with the customer. And the customer has every right to expect that you will sell it quickly. If they did it themselves, they would see how much time is involved and how unsuccessful it can be. If you take this on, you insulate them from that reality and almost guarantee a headache for yourself.
In our area, UPS has apparently decided to increase their shipping business by opening branches that will take goods with a minimum value (%75, I, think), sell them on ebay, ship them out, and give your customer some fixed percentage of the sale. Check this out! Someone has decided to have this headache all for themselves, so let them have it!
Even though we have a shop, the number of people who stop by wanting used equipment is VERY limited, maybe a half percent of our traffic.

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
