Fair price for a Yamaha RX-V1

I don’t have a price for you except to say that home theater specific equipment takes a pretty big hit in price generally. I remember that receiver as being top of the line but that was about 10 years or so ago. I have a Pioneer Elite DV09 that was the top of the line DVD player a number of years ago and sold for $ 2,200.00 new. Mine has maybe 3 or 4 hours on it and I could probably can only get about $ 250.00 at best! Check the completed listings over on ebay and see what they have sold for. I would guess that it’s less than $ 400.00. Good Luck with it!

I think $200-$300 is more likely for the RX-V1 receiver. I bought a champagne-colored one from a thrift store a few years ago. I spent $350 to get it repaired, then gave it to my son-in-law after I saw how many were available on the used equipment websites. I sold my champagne-colored Yamaha DSP A1 last week for $200 (with Yamaha speakers). There just doesn't seem to be much of a market for used receivers, unless they are McIntosh or priced like a thrift store. I watch those used equipment websites and observe that any receiver (particularly ones without HDMI) priced over $300 can sit for months, even years! I guess it just depends on how long you are willing to wait.

last two sold on ebay sold for $160 and $130
