Sounds like the best idea. At worst you will lose ~£10 in ebay fees if it's not sold.

I would have thought a dealer would never buy something for more/equal market value unless they were doing you some sort of deal as part exchange. And even then, I would expect it to be some sort of buy back deal on a newish model.
