Looking for pricing advice for Modded SCD-1

I have a SCD-1 to sell that was modded by VSE shortly after I bought it and shortly before I left to go overseas. Now that I am back, I am into streaming audio from my computer and am not using the Sony. So its essentially a new unit. My problem is I cannot find any comparables in order to figure out what to ask for it. I subscribe to bluebook, but that has not helped either. Seems like used SCD-1's are going at 1700 to 1800 now? Should I ask that plus half the cost of the mod?

I agree with both replies so far. Your pricing sounds like a good place to start, and maybe you'll get lucky, you only need to find one buyer. However, my experiences with modded units is more like Chuck's. You would do well to re-coup 25-30% of the mod investment from what I've seen on AudiogoN. Many folks steer clear of modded equipment, which will obviously limit your pool of potential buyers.

Put it up for $1750 + %50 of the mod cost and you may get lucky. If it doesn't sell then you will have to lower the price.

Good luck,
John
