I hand mine to a local charity shop for free. I’ve tried ebay where it seems most buyers I’ve had have tried to spam me and eBay takes the buyers side. Way too stressful. I could trade in to my camera store. I never have Because I’m lazy.
I tried ebay recently and the bag set there for 6-8 weeks before I finally pulled. Not even an offer.
I throw them on Facebook marketplace or craiglist and just let them sit. Its crazy how many times someone reaches out after months of having them on there and buys it
Wait... you mean you can legally get rid of camera bags?!?!?! I thought you were lawfully bound to keep them forever... or at least that's what I tell my wife 
My wife did not accept that argument - she put me on a 12 step programWait... you mean you can legally get rid of camera bags?!?!?! I thought you were lawfully bound to keep them forever... or at least that's what I tell my wife

I have two that I am going to give to the photography club my wife's aunt is a member of. They can give them to members in need or raffle/sell them and reinvest the money back into the club.
I was able to trade in one of my bags when I traded in my D500 and D850.

how to sell: price cheap or cheaper than cheap. :(
That seems to be the magic recipe

I stopped trying. Shipping was costing more than I could get as a sale price. I either keep them in the closet or give them away.
The only way to sell them is cheaply.
Unfortunately true
Take a picture of all of them, and I might be interested in a bulk lot, if the price is right.
sounds familar
Actually, some bags, especially Think Tank and a few others, will get buyers. But it does come down to price in the end. The lens bag I use for my 600mm I bought used.
I wait until I have a body or a couple of lenses to sell and bundle them with a bag.
I often sell items very cheaply or even give items away to photographers who are starting out as my way of giving back. Maybe there is a camera club in your area with newbies who can't afford a good camera bag. Just a thought.
Facebook market place
I have some equipment that I am selling later this month at KEH Helix camera in Itasca IL and they are not accepting camera bags. I don't know if this is local policy or nationwide.

Yes sir, I am a card-carrying member of the Bag of the Month Club I've been waiting (since last summer) for Nomatic's new Peter McKinnon entry, which I'm really excited to finally get later this month. Boy was this latest Kickstarter campaign delayed, no fault of Nomatic though.
For my used bags, I give some away to my buddy who runs a film class and he's always looking for bags / cases. Some of them I'll sell on eBay but it's almost not worth the time (their fees are a
), unless it's a larger / higher-end bag.
Speaking of which - I have a mint Lowepro Protactic BP 450 AWII backpack, if anyone's interested. Comes with everything, even the original packaging. $160, and I'll throw in free continental US shipping.
