Any suggestions on camera equipment trade

I currently have two camera systems - Fuji and Sony.
Over the years, I have realised that I prefer the Fuji output over Sony (Highly subjective - but it is what it is)
While I have spent a reasonable amount on lenses - My camera body (esp the Fuji ) is quite dated

Now I am thinking of disposing the Sony system altogether while getting an upgrade for the Fuji Body and perhaps another Prime to go with it.
The problem with disposing the Sony is this:
- The body and the stock lens should be easily disposable on OLX or elsewhere - It's an Alpha A68
- Same with the telephoto and portrait lenses - cheap and easily disposed
- The primes, esp the 35f1.4 (SAL35F14G) is an expensive lens..and while my expectations are very sensible (and I mean really sensible), I have no clue where one can dispose an expensive Sony prime lens in India

Any suggestions/ thoughts/ recommendations on how to go about it?
 
I am not sure why the lens and other camera equipment rental business is not popular here. It is so popular abroad and one can rent lenses on the cheap instead of buying and paying a bomb. It would also give ppl like you opportunity to exchange/sell costly equipment.

Abroad the minds are open compared to here. Also, people there selling these stuff usually maintain them to the par but here the mentality is like "its used so it has to got some flaw" even if the product is 10/10!
And when it comes to such sensitive and delicate stuff only amateurs will go for it due to monetary factors while others will source it from abroad or buy new.
