I need some advice.

I'm getting ready to try to sell my Kenwood "rack" stereo system (receiver, equilizer, tuner, dual cassette) which I bought in 1989, I added a 5 disc CD in 1998
Everything is in excellent condition.

Problem is, I have no idea how I should price it - it's been so long I don't even remember how much I paid for it.

I don't want to give it away but I'm not looking to screw anybody over either.

I wil be grateful if someone in the know can give me an idea how to price this.

Tks

What I usually do is go to ebay and do a search for my items and then select "completed items." This helps you get an idea of the market value (on ebay anyway).

I'd guess $50

n2n's right. You won't get much more than that & certainly nothing close to what you bought it for in '89. You're not selling high end gear so just be happy if you get a few bucks to have somebody take it off your hands.

I can't believe how quickly stereo equipment goes obsolete. If you bought it as a package system, you'll be damn lucky to get $50 for a system that old. I've got a Kenwood reciever about that old, prob a few years newer. Surround sound, but not even prologic. It sounds great but It's an antique. Even though it may work like the day it was new, it's value will be LOW.
Not to dump on your equipment. I'm a fan of Kenwood. But last year I bought a floor model Kenwood surround sound reciever from a tent sale (old floor model). This thing was their big dog a couple of years earlier. I got it for $99.

Yep, you're getting good advice. Just no re-sale value.

You should have told us how much you paid for it. Keep the CD player, not obsolete, and sell the rest for $20 or give it to a kid in the family.
