What we usually say is 'can someone tell me where I can sell second hand stuff?'

BUt yours works equally well.

Check the PFM and get your conclusion.

It's just what the seller want's to have for it. Sometimes you could be lucky sometime you must look further.

Their value is whatever the highest bidder ends up paying... and possibly more!

I was prepared to part with up to £20 for a mint 1st pressing of Zep's Physical Graffitti...

No one else would bid more than £11

I paid £11.20... but would have paid £20 - so the value to me is far higher than it was to the seller.

Watch the items and on the last day you can decide for yourself if you want them more than the other bidders... giving you numbers here won't help if other folk with deeper pockets are prepared to spend over the odds.

Don't rule out s/h stuff from dealers! For usually only a small premium on a typical openmarket price, you usually get all sorts of back-up, which you don't get on the open market!

But as a guide of TYPICAL (as opposed to 'right') s/h prices...

NAC 72 - TYPICALLY £300-400
NAC 102 - TYPICALLY £400-600
HI-CAP (olive)- TYPICALLY £300-400
NAP 180 - TYPICALLY £500-600

I'm not sure about he 72, but i'd expect to pay 500-600 for the 102, similar for the 180, and about 400 for the hi-cap.

Gerlando, and all who are interested....

Here is a fantastic resource for buying used Hi-Fi equipment at the 'right' price:

Good luck!

Hmmm. From what I've seen I'd say the 72 is overbid and the HiCap underbid at those prices.

Duncan,
72 overcooked at £300-400? - Have you seen the crazy prices for shoebox amps lately?! Eek
- There's a 32-5 just ending on Flea-Bay at £275 (!!!) and a possibly faulty 90 went recently for almost £200.

I still think that Hicaps generally go for £300-400 - unless you're telling me that, although they're now older and near service-due, my s/h investment in two HCs had paid off and they have actually gone up in value. Goody! Smile

more accurately - it's only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it. you make the market.

Absolutely right.

You can help maximise it by advertising at the right time, providing a simple but accurate pitch and supplying a flattering photo.

Items I've sold in the past year (after fees) include a NAC 72 at £290 (not one of the late ones), an XPS at £1250, an olive unserviced Hi-Cap at £420.

For a NAP 180, I'd expect £5-600 depending on servce history and a NAP 250 £750-£950 depending on same.
