Selling?

I just had an unsolicited offer to buy my CJ 350. He wanted to drive down from the East Coast and pay cash. No price was mentioned. The next day he ask and I told him $6500. I thought this was quite low but I am getting old and have moved into an apt. He was shocked and said that he had seen many for $4000 and one for $3800. Now I have been in audio since 1960 and have a good idea what things are worth. I did not believe this for a minute. Looking on the net I found only one and it was $8724. So if you don't know yourself check with the bluebook before you sell. I told him to buy one of the cheap ones he talked about. So beware of lowballs.

Well
There's always discrepancy between 'asking' and sold for. I can ask for my Sunfire amp also $8k, but it does not mean I'm going to sell it at that price. To get better idea I'd look for more than just one source the 'sold for' statistics.
Even if the units aren't around for the price described there may be the time that they will be listed.
For example:

tonykay,
you're probably the only one who 'truly' understood the goal of OP, but didn't understand that the same goal of OP will not help him to sell this unit. what prooves is that he didn't check multiple sources and checked only the featured one.

my advice is ironic, because originally OP claimed selling motivation and than decided to switch to hold on to it till the last minute of his clock LOL!

if you sit on it tight till the end of your clock, you'll always find success if not this time, than other time ahead.
