To be honest the value of 2nd hand film kit as trade-ins is minimal. I know that Jessops will match prices, but pick a quiet branch, as they like to pick and choose which offers they will match if the store is hitting targets. They also do trade-ins. Get them to match your price first, then present them with your trade-in kit and beat them up on how much you want for it. Offer to take accessories such as memory cards instead of the cash for your trade-in.

I had a play with the EOS350D the other day...It's a great bit of kit and much improved on the 300D. It's just a bit small for my liking, so I'm probably going to upgrade to a 20D next year...especially as I seem to be doing more freelance photography these days.

Good luck!
