What is My System Worth?

Whatever someone will pay for it.

I'll start with an offer of $10....oops that is another site isn't it.

I have never used the Audiogon Blue Book, but I have always wondered how they arrived at the "actual" selling price of used gear, since most transactions are actually settled person-to-person. It seems like the best they can do is track the trend in "asking price", which may be useful, or it may not. I suppose it would still provide a starting point.

Johnnymetal,
to see what these components sell for currently just run a search of classifieds. If you come accross the same gear you're trying to sell, that should give you an idea what you can get for it. Good luck.

What is 'Fantastic' to you may not be to others, never lose this simple truth.

Your system is worth what one, single buyer is willing to pay for it depending on his motivation, and selling price this may be different (higher or lower) than the ''Orion'' blue book or even previous sales of the same units as you have for sale.

One definite indication is if the product is in relative demand, and if there are many units offered, or just a few.

I know this is basic 101, but I feel it is nevertheless worthwhile advice if you have no clue as to how to go about this.
