advice on pricing uncommon gear

I am considering tinkering with some systems I have - long story short, either selling some modwright or metronome gear. This post pertains to the metronome. I have the MT100 signature and CD1 signature. They are in perfect shape and work flawlessly. Any idea how to price that gear? The blue book data are limited.

This is not a troll, but I do want some guidance before I do something stupid.

Many thanks for any input.

A lot of the gear I have is uncommon so I'm ready to take it on the chin upon re-sale. Normally what I like to do is a search on the net for completed transactions with the piece of equipment I have up for grabs and take an average of the prices. I'll list the item for sale around that price. With uncommon gear Pryso's formula makes a lot of sense. Just be ready though to take a loss.

Yeah, Coda's resale value is great......for the buyer! LOL!
More importantly how many do you see for sale?

Very few, mainly because they don't sell as many as the other big name brands that advertise, like Classe and Krell. When you don't market your brand, you don't sell many units, hence there are fewer pieces on the used market.

Pretty simple math, Klyne and Clayton Audio are also small manufacturers that do not advertise. You won't find many of their units on the used market either. :)

Jm and will they give you 50% of your original purchase price for a credit no matter the age of the unit towards a new purchase. NO!

Obviously I struck a nerve Tobb. I'm sorry, I have no affiliation with Coda outside of owning one of their amps. Obviously you have some sort of stake in Coda gear.
