I'm sure you've pointed out you are taking a chance the equipment will be worth more. That is how you make your living, by finding a buyer.
In the meantime, you are reducing their overhead and putting money in their pockets. There is value in that too.
Some understand this, others will hold on to a piece of gear and dump it years later for a fraction.
But you've probably seen that many times.
