Audio valuations

Is anyone else interested in determining a fair value for used high end equipment? I understand we all try to sell and buy our equipment at the best price, but where to start? I recently listed
a item for sale and set a price that I thought was competitive based on very limited past sale information. I did receive an offer that was $500 less than asking price. Was I too high or was the offer too low. It would be helpful if we could see what others sold their equipment for and the condition of the equipment. I want to sell my equipment, but I don't want to give it away.
Any thoughts on this matter?

One of the lucky transactions that I actually made money on. This is the exception to the rule.

I just sold a pre-owned, discontinued mint SACD player for more than list because the buyer, who is very happy, has a large collection of HDCDs. At first he asked a ton of questions but then I realized he was serious.

(The new models won’t play them. Does anyone know of current production model that will play HDCDs?)

There are always lowballs out there but some folks stick to an unreasonable price. And there is fashion to contend with. I wonder if the prices of AJ Conti and Ayre equipment will go down drastically since the eponymous founder has unfortunately passed away?
