 .  When you don't really know and you want to be fair ,,  where do you find a price to sell your amp or pre at a sleep at night price ?   Thanks   Not really sure I posted in right place ?   Sorry ,,   

[RoadTripper]

Audiogon has a "Blue Book" kind of website that will give you dollar figures for your stuff. You have to pay to play though.

 :Dhhhh ok.  i was trying to avoid that fee.   ha ..   thanks   

[Don_S]

I check Audiogon and http://www.usaudiomart.com/ and hope I find other ads for what I have to sell. Regardless of what the Audiogon Blue Book says, current ads are the competition.

 .  I know there are gear heads out there that know all and ears on ground. But I guess I should buck up ,, ha ..

Watch AG, AC, AA, Audio Mart(s), eBay and Craigslist to see what the market is like. I do that on a regular basis in case I want to buy/sell something, and that way I'm already zeroed in on what to ask/offer.

Also, audio shark. For Craigslist, use searchtmpest.

[Wind Chaser]

What exactly is it that you have and what else can you tell us about it?

[2bigears]

 . MF 750KW  amp,  as new of course.  VAC REN SIG  Pre  .... I need to get smaller stuff for my move. 
        Don't need an amp I can weld with ,, ha.

Have you had a shootout between your MF 750 and other amps to find replacement yet?

Along with the suggestions so far, I also check this free web site:http://www.kruipen.com/

If I want to see other listings for same product I check:http://www.hifishark.com/

To a dealer, half of what you paid for it. If you're selling it, 2/3rds.

+1 on both sites

I find most used gear priced at about half original retail. Some high demand units command slightly more.

I think age plays a factor. There's some out dated tech I wouldn't pay the time of day to, for example.

But also some stuff is boring, some stuff is moving and shaking.

In general I think a fair amount of used gear gets sat on for a long time due to high expectations.

Absolutely. Older gear usually means more wear and tear. Also some gear retains its value better due to popularity / demand.

On planet Vietnam,
if your gear is GR Research or Bellari or Nightshade Audio
it's worth near zero $$$
However, look like Marrantz, Dynaudio and the same retain their value.
The Vietnamese goes pretty much by well known brand names.
I have a professional photographic business and
Lowepro, Manfrotto, Sekonic, Bowens, B+W Filter are well know brands
easy to sell and retain value than not well known brands like:
Falcon Eye, Daylite...
In the past few years I bought audio stuff that is reliable
and easy to repair and dont care too much about resale value since I keep my stuff,
of course it was not always like that.
As they say : Live and learn.

Especially tube gear, which is ironic since age is more likely to degrade it due to the high voltages and temperatures. Case in point, Dynaco- good luck giving away the vintage SS Dyna-- the tube stuff still brings good $$ if in decent condition.
