How much do expect to get for it?

Not sure at the moment. I would research what they are selling for locally on Kijiji and Facebook.

B&H Photo sells them used for around $110.

You're not buying one, you're considering selling one. How much do you think B&H pays?

Lacking, I presume, B&H's outstanding reputation, cleaning & inspection, and return policy, you'll get what, $90 if you're lucky? Pay shipping on top of that? Add the time & trouble & costs to post. What will be your profit? A mediocre 37mm polarizing filter? A cheapo 64GB SD card?

And, right after you sell it, Murphy's law mandates that someone will offer you a high paying job taking portraits of beautiful models - but you won't have an appropriate lens.

Think it through. Keep the lens unless you need the money to eat.
