To determine prices of used stuff is a very personal thing. There are various factors involved which include condition of the particular component, brand name and seller's expectations to name a few. Some reputable audio sites like Audiogon have bluebook service which shows access to real-time resale values of popular brands.

My suggestion is you can set a price you are comfortable with for all your components. If they are not moving then either the market is bad, nobody is specifically looking at the listed items or the items are overpriced. Don't worry to much about it as if anyone is interested in any of your items they will enquire irrespective of what price you have set on them(unless you price them near to what you've paid for them in retail). You only need to worry on a few of those who are into low-balling.

Cheers.

Pricing of used hifi equipment is quite subjective.
There are some points to consider:


  • Whether the internal components have been modified or upgraded such as internal cables/wires, resistors, capacitors and transformers to produce better performance and sound quality. These modification/upgrading have some added value to the price of the hifi equipment. On the other hand, some hifi enthusiasts prefer to buy used hifi equipments in original condition with no modification or upgrading of parts in the equipment.
  • Some hifi equipments are sentimental, classic or vintage and difficult to depart with, unless the price is right.
  • Some hifi enthusiasts do trade/exchange their equipments with others.
Cheers.

Okay, understood. All my stuff un-modified, heck most likely not even opened.

Thanks
