hi all, just joined up today to look into some equipment i acquired. i have to say i am shocked that there is so much interest in old audio. come to think of it i can see why, the quality of the old equipment is remarkable! i use to have an old pioneer receiver and hpm100s and the combo was perfect. (too bad i was young and didnt realize what i had).
any how im looking to see the worth of my current setup.if any one is interested in schooling me i would appreciate all the info

[notloudenuff]

If your interested in more info on equipment just ask

[MaxCast]

Sure, list your equipment and see what info you get.
What city are you in? 

Welcome to AC.

Let the party begin...

Im in Burlington Wisconsin, about 20 min south of mil and west of Racine. 
The equipment I currently have is as follows;
Pioneer sx1010
dynamo amp (400)
adcom ace-515
ps audio superlink
monarchy audio processor
rotel cd player

Welcome aboard

What are your musical interests?  What do you listen for in a system?  What's your listening environment like (dedicated room, size, layout, etc.)?  What are your audio goals/budget?

You're close enough to Chicago to chum with those AC members and visit the audio shops there.

The place where technology has really made old gear obsolete is in digital sources.  Your computer with an inexpensive DAC (like the $99 Schiit Modi) will blow away your Rotel/PS Audio/Monarchy. 
 
Could you clarify what the 'Dynamo 400' is?  Did you mean a 'Dynaco 400' (a still desirable power amp)?

I had a Pioneer 626 in college.  Does the SX-1010 have a pre-amp output?  If not how would you use the 'Dynaco 400'?

Those HPM-100 speakers are another blast from the past.  Are they still in working condition?  Modern design goes for tighter bass with simpler design (fewer drivers/crossovers thanks to better materials).  Today a good 2-way stand mount design could go deeper based on the information I could find.

This could be a ton of fun, like coming out of a 30 year coma to rediscover the world.  Enjoy.

More or less I'm just interested in the worth of this stuff.

I'd guess that the Dynaco?? and Pioneer could fetch reasonable sums (check vintage audio gear sites and E-bay).

The prices very so much that I don't know a solid starting point. I have see the Pioneer sell for almost 800$ but also as low as 200$ the dynaco is from 500-200

[notloudenuff]

All for sale! I would like to sell it all as one unit but will consider separating. Shoot me some offers

[JLM]

Please refer to the trading post for listing equipment.  Recommend adding details (age, condition, basic description of features, pictures, and asking price).

[MaxCast]

I recommend cleaning it all up nice and take a few pics of each.  List the set on craigslist at the high end of the range.  Lower if you want to move it.  You have a pretty big audience being between Milwaukee and Chitown.  If you want to sell here you must move the Trading Post and you will have to box real well for shipping.

As others have said, you need to post your ad to the Trading Post board.

You could also put the items on EBay or Audiogon, or a couple of other similar places.  Don't know what it'll fetch and don't know how much to ask for?  Maybe an EBay or Audiogon auction is the way to go.

If you're looking for us to price the items for you, you probably won't get a lot of free research done out of the goodness of our own hearts.  On the other hand, you should feel free to Google around.

Audiogon has a premium paid service that let's you search their database of prior sales.  That may or may not be helpful.

For what it's worth, vintage equipment is generally worth more if it is known to work and has been serviced recently.  Otherwise, I pay you X dollars and the first time I plug it in it goes up in smoke.  Of course, people do buy equipment of unknown condition and choose to fix it up themselves, but there are more plug-and-play consumers than there are consumers who want to fix things or who are willing to risk a service bill of unknown size.
