I posted this over in reddit and it didn't get much of a response so I would like your guys opinions.
Alright I tend to drone on with back story so I'll try my best to keep it short and sweet.
I picked up photography when I was in 9th grade and with in a year I upgraded to a DSLR. My mom was very supportive as she once was a manager at a photo studio. So with her encouragement and a summer of working I soon had about $1000 in photo equipment. I kept shooting all during high school and developed a love for sports photography. But during the down seasons I had about $2500 worth of gear that would just sit around. This past summer was the worst up until now. I'm in college hoping that I would have time to go out and shoot local college and high school sports, butI have little to no time. So I decided to sell my gear and hopefully pick it up after college. I figured I pretty much failed with getting a successful website going because I didn't go all in and I could use some extra spending cash.
So I decided it was best to sell my gear. I told my mom and she said that I shouldn't. I explained to her, told her I had no time, I'm going to a small college with no photo club, and there's just no demand for sports photos right now. So then she said to sell the gear to her. I've sold her my old 2nd body(Canon Rebel XS) and I've let her use a ton of my gear for sports events, concerts and what not. But this is a whole different thing. She would like to buy over $2000 worth of photo gear(Canon 7D, Canon 70-200f/2.8, Canon 17-40, Canon 50 f/1.4, Canon 430EX and misc. accessories) from me. I know why she wants to do it, but I feel guilty doing it almost. She wants to buy it to me and basically give it to me to use any time. I really don't want to sell it to her for the around $2500 or so I would ask from sale. So should I just give it to her, sell it to her full price and buy it back later, or give it all to her for like $500 or so? What would you do? It's really nice, but I feel almost guilty doing it.
