Help me find value for Technics SP-10 Direct Drive Turntable


I have a Technics SP-10 Direct Drive Turntable that I would like to list for sale on Audiogon. However, Audiogon Bluebook cannot give me a current value to set as sales price (according to Audiogon Support, they do not have a record of recent sales).
Audiogon lists values for SP-10 MKII and MKIII, but these are not my model. Mine is the original SP-10, which is what is listed on the Serial Plate (no MK, I, or even M is shown).
This unit is from the estate of a relative who purchased it in 1975. It is in the original shipping carton, has never been assembled or used. Serial number is 60123. 
The unit does not include a tone arm, base or dust cover.
Thanks for any help you can give me. I am skeptical about using the MKII value as an approximation for this unit.

Pretty good estimation sbank -  about $500 for an unused and still in its original carton SP10.  Theres a current listing for one on eBay at $425 - its been offered for a while with no takers.

The MK 2 is a completely different table, the MK3 even more so.  A MK2 typically sells for $ 700 on average for a working one - $ 400 for one that needs service.  A MK3 anywhere form $5K and up depending on condition.

Best of luck
