You might check KEH. There are a few Arca Swiss bodies here

I didn't check for anything else that you have but it might be there.
You can also check B&H, Adorama and perhaps a few other large stores
with significant used sales departments.
I've never sold anything to KEH but my guess it that you'll probably be
offered about 1/2 of their selling price and condition can be extremely
important to price. Selling it on your own elsewhere should get you
somewhere in between.
Yes, scanning film gets old. I haven't done it in a long time but need
to get back to it. There's a huge backlog.
