Fair price for used Vandersteen 3a Signatures


Curius if anyone has an opinion on what a pair of excellent condition Vandersteen 3a Signatures should run? The 3a Signatures have had some price hikes over th years while retaining the same branding/labeling.   Different from the model 2's which seem to have a branding update to signify component upgrades and pricing increases.

Thanks

The 3a was introduced in 1996, making it a 25y/o design.  It cost $2795 at that time, which is $5008 in April, 2023 inflated price.  According to the used equipment pricing model I have developed over the years (based on 100's of buy/sells of gear,) it should have a price somewhere in the $750-1250 range as of today.  Perhaps a little more if it is 5 years less old and in great shape.

Hope this helps.
