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.

HiFiShark is a great website to determine prices. It will show you current listings on all audio marketplace websites, as well as sold listings and what they sold for. 
I find Bluebooks to be inaccurate of the current market. 
I like to check Audiogon listings for fun and maybe a purchase or three, but when I see someone who has valued their item badly--overvalued--I do chuckle, good luck with that!  

@austinbob , it's even funnier when they put "Priced to Sell" in the header!!!
