Should I sell my barlow and ep?

As someone who is primarily an astrophotographer, I rarely actually do any visual gazing.  My sole visual scope is a Skymax 180, which I will use for planets and the moon 99% of the time. For this I have a Hyperflex 9-27mm Zoom, a Explore Scientific 6.7mm 82 degree ep, and a Explore Scientific 2x Barlow.

As I have come to understand over recent years, decent eye pieces tend to go to waste in long focal length telescopes like the Skymax.  Is there any point in me keeping my Explore Scientific glass?  I think I could get half decent money moving it on, which I could reinvest elsewhere, but I don't want to sell and later regret it.

I can see in your sig you've got a ST80. Is that for widefield visual or guiding? If the former, you may want to keep the ES82. But yes I agree the 2x barlow is pretty much useless with the Mak 180 when you've already got a 6.7mm ep.

Yes it is for guiding, never use it for anything else.  Similarly with the 80ed, that is pretty much only used for imaging. 

I don't really see any point in keeping the 6.7mm either when I have 9mm in the Hyperflex zoom?

If you never bother with 400x for the Moon or the planets during those very occasional calm nights, the zoom should be enough for all the visuals you will be doing with the Mak. Maybe swap the 6.7mm with a widefield 2" eyepiece?
