Looking at switching out Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L for a 17-55mm f/2.8 IS. Also looking to upgrade my Canon XSi to something like a 50D. The ideal would be to trade the XSi + kit lens and 24-70mm 2.8L for a 50D and 17-55mm 2.8 IS. Not sure how feasible that is. Any suggestions? Or is my best bet to sell the camera and lenses on craigslist and then just buy what I want?

I'll tell you how to do it, but you have to send me that 24-70mm 2.8L for the answer

Can I get $15/month for not playing them?

It's a really nice lens but I realized that a slightly smaller lens, IS, and $400 toward upgrading my camera body would have been a better route to go...

My guess would definitely be EBay or Craigslist. Unless you know of any local places that may take it.

I'd use craigslist.

Fredmiranda.com has the best buy/sell forums for photo stuff, you can get some deals on craigslist and ebay but there are a lot of scams and a ton of junk floating around out there.
