I also have some studio flash equipment (like umbrella flashes) that I occasionally used with my film SLR. They should still work with with my DSLR, but I have not had a chance to try them yet.
And I don't think you are going to make any money off of your old film SLR equipment unless you have some stuff that was rare or really expensive to begin with.

The advertised limit of the D700 is 6400. I've gone to the "Hi1" once with very little issue. At the max, the noise was very noticible.
Agreed, unless someone has a connection to old film equipment there is very little secondary market, even for the highest end 35mm. Hasselblad bodies can take new digital backs.
