This is for a client who had a power surge and the power company is replacing gear. They will depreciate the gear, making it more important that I have the original msrp pricing correct.
I need MSRP for:
Denon POA-8200
Denon POA-8300
Denon AVR-4802
Hafler Five Hundred
Kenwood Basic M2-A
NEC 61" Plasma
I think the Denon AVR-4802 was $2500. Not sure about the rest. I've googled, but most of what I find is what they've been bought and sold used for.
Any ideas?

Orion Blue Book is online, now, and it gives current retail used and original retail when new.

Good timing on this thread. I just acquired a Definitive Speaker set with HUGE Front Speakers (difficult for me to move alone), a large center speaker and nice rear speakers that I now want to unload.
These speakers are too big for any of my gear and my house.

BisyB--
and you are located where?
Why are people afraid to list in their profiles even a vague idea of where they are located?

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

Second vote for using the Orion Blue Book.
They are indispensable tools for selling used gear.
There is arguably not a lot of value in their pricing estimates, but I find value in the MSRP info, for the info on the years that the models were sold, and in seeing the full line to see the models above/below yours.
It always helps if you know that the CD player, preamp, cassette deck, etc you are looking to buy or sell was their entry level POS, or the flagship model, or somewhere in between. :)

Ordered the blue book each year. Towards the end, I used the internet for pricing. Ebay in particular - I figured that if I had to move it used, that was where I would go. Completed auctions told me what I could expect. Blue book pricing became irrelevant. Back to the original post. More valuable to you might be the replacement cost of that gear. Who cares what it originally sold for. Hafler 500. Find an equivalent powered new model. Use its pricing. Same with the others.

There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions. |
