Ok I have a large collection of darkroom equipment.
I am thinking of selling or trading it all off as I have not had a chance to use it in forever. What do you guys think, is it worth keeping till I get a house to set it all up or should I sell and get something I can use right now for my growing photography business?
I also am wondering what you think I may be able to get for the whole set-up.
I have an Omega concept six with el omegar 50mm 3.5, Philips pcs 130 enlarger with extra head, Philips pcs 2000 enlarger in box with extra head and power supply, two Philips pcs 150 control units, 120 and 35mm condensors, extra bulbs, ability to switch to b&w from color, adjustable neg carriers with and without glass, Rodenstock Rodagon 80mm F4, Schneider Componon-s 50mm 2.8, El-Nikkor 50mm 2.8, Gralab 300, Gralab 171, Time-o-light gr-72, Kodak safelight, Premier safelight, 4 paper safes, Omega easel, Watson bulk film loader, Nikor s.s. dev tank two reels, German made one reel s.s. dev tank, Few plastic dev tanks, Ilford multigrade filter set,Kodak polymax filter kit, 1 Ilford 1 Beseler 1 Chromega motor bases, Ilford drums for motor bases 8x11-16x20, Bestwell magna sight, Paterson micro focus finder, as well as beakers, graduates, tongs, trays and chemicals.

Any chance incorporating darkroom printing into your photography business?

If you have the space, keep it. What's it worth, after all?

Sounds like a great setup -- I would keep it since you won't get much money for it right now. As Shadowfox said, maybe you can offer wet printing services locally -- in most cities these days, there is a shortage of good wet darkroom services...
