I think the idea about going on ebay was a good idea? Just because your
system is not exactly like ones for sale on eBay? Just take the extra
stuff that makes your system different and remove it from the equation.
It's probably worth more parted out anyway.

So Ragoon goes to Ebay and finds some macs.. and posts them with an idiotic
response like "It's worth what people pay for it". But I am not selling a
mac. In fact the AJA IO is probably worth more than the mac for all I know.

Hello? Economics 101. It's true. you can only get what it's worth,
meaning what someone will pay for it. Unless there's some kind of
sentimental value on an item, such as a classic car or an antique. Then
the price you can fetch becomes more of an opinion. |

hmm... one went for $850 the other went for $1744. You tell me.
at any rate I already know what the mac is worth.

Hello? Hello? The quaestion was WHAT IS IT WORTH? The answer that it is

I wish I hadn't said anything now - seem to have started another war.
Going back to the original question, I think I under-estimated a bit,
and would go up to $2000.
BTW - may be a new-ish poster here, but 40 years at the BBC make me a
true grey (actually white) beard. |

Jona,
I sell things all the time online using ebay, it truly is as Richard said
worth what people are willing to pay for it.
Prices for items change dramatically in a weeks time, if a new cheaper,
better product comes out, everyone tries
to dump their old stuff on ebay quickly to buy the newer stuff themselves.
The first few get top dollar the rest get a lot less, cause of supply and
demand factor.
Ebay will give you access to the most buyers in the shortest period of time.
Better than say sticking it
in a store front window and letting it get cob webs while you wait for your
asking price.
You say you want $3500, I don't know what it's worth, usually used items are
half the price of NEW right off the bat, even in mint condition, then drop
down depending on demand and if newer and cheaper products have recently
entered the market.
My advice is separate the products! Richard had a link for a Mac with
software that sold for $1700 on his list, so sell your Mac and software
separate from the AJA IO completely.
This way it's easier to find two buyers, one only wanting a Mac, and another
who has a Mac only wanting the rest.
That is my advice.
:)
Like junk dealers they get more for car parts than a used car salesman would
get selling the whole car.

Well.. thank you for your advice. I appreciate it. However I was only
curious about relative prices for the gear rather than advice. Don't take
that the wrong way. It was just a simple question. |

Jona I think you are losing your audience! You've heard bad things about
ebay and have no experience with it and so it's a bad horrible place.
You get snippy when people try to help you with compairibles to what
you're trying to sell.
I'm thinking your getting more people to "plonk" you than anything else
here.

Jona,
I was happy to try and help but sorry i didn't have prices for you.
About ebay, I can understand your fear, I started out small years ago and
totally relied on sellers
and buyers with *ONLY* positive feedback and never once had a bad experience
in over 10 years so far.
In the beginning many people only dealt with you if you had 10 positive
feedback rating or more, I used to regularly put
it in my description, saying "don't bother bidding if you have less than 10
positive feedback rating, or I'll cancel your bid" stuff like
that, lately i don't bother since ebay started asking people for credit card
info to join and it's gotten a little safer than the early days.
Big ticket items still do scare me however, so I understand your reluctance.
I think the most i would trust to sell on ebay would be
around a $1200-1500 item at a time, that's why I suggested breaking it up,
to have better odds of not getting ripped off by one large bad transaction.
People buy and sell cars, houses, and expensive jewelry on ebay. LOL That i
would do quite yet.
Stuff from my closet and gear i no longer need yes, but big ticket stuff you
should do in person, that's also how I feel.
Thanks for the reply and Good Luck,
AnthonyR. |

As "the one who is usually right around here" (grin), you may want to
re-think the ebay issue.
It really does allow one to get rid of stuff that is just hanging around.
And as a buying forum, it's great since you no longer have to deal with
making a broker's markup.
Just my $.02 . . .
