Fair price for a Yamaha RX-V1

I would like an opinion or two on what might be a good asking price for a Yamaha RX-V1 HT Receiver (in pristine condition with original owner's manual, shipping container, etc.).  All functions work perfectly. My goal is to upgrade to a more modern 5- or 7-channel receiver that offers the current audio processing capabilities and room equalization.  I believe the RX-V1 was top-of-the-the-line for Yamaha when it was current.  (I would like to receive a good price for the unit, but want to price it fairly enough to be attractive -- perhaps to an enthusiast just getting into home theater.)  THANKS.

WOW!  ...but I guess not that surprising.  THANKS, all.  Good, consistent input.  Given its condition and its past performance, I took an "educated guess" a couple days ago and placed it at $490 (as I recall), which apparently is a little on the high side.  

In looking around for an upgrade, and focused on sound quality and a good room equalization system, it looks to me like the current 500- and 700 series Anthem units look really good.  (I am a two-channel guy but have a separate stereo system located in another room). I currently have an OPPO 83 deck for Blu Ray playback. Given all that, can you offer any recommendations/opinions?

Thank you all for the input.


Paraneer -- Thanks for the good suggestion.  I should have mentioned that I have a 2-channel system set up separately from my HT system -- but I may need to combine the two in the future.
