While out of work I figured it was a good time to go in to clean-up mode and regain some closet space.
I've got three pre/pro's that I'm unsure of values: AVP1000, AVP2000, and AVP4090.
I've been googling without much luck.
All are in good shape and include the manuals, remotes, and original boxes.
I don't want to give them away, but I do want to sell them; you know what I mean?

    Unfortunately, pre/pros tend to take the biggest hit on the used market due to new audio formats. Optimistic pricing would be about $70, $100, $120 respectively. I scored a Ref 30 for $100, which is a little on the low side, but with the Ref 20, 30 and 50 dropping pretty hard, the older models are going to be lower. Having the boxes and manuals helps, but it's like having a '94 Corolla with 30,000 miles. They're not collectable, so the pristine condition is outweighed by the age.

    this guy sells a TON of gear on ebay and audiogon, and his prices are usually pretty fair:

    same guy: http://www.ebay.com/itm/B-K-Components-AVP-4090-preamplifier-processor-with-manual-and-remote-/380453277580?pt=US_Home_Audio_Amplifiers_Preamps&hash=item5894c84f8c

    You can probably add a little to the first for box, manual, and condition, but those give you a pretty good idea.

    good luck!

    Thanks for the replies guys.

    unc: I agree with you on the pre/pros taking a hit; nature of the beast I believe.
    Your recommendations are pretty close to what I was thinking. Just off the top of my head, I was thinking 75, 100, and 150.

    rooftop: I appreciate the links, they were about the only ones I had found. The conditions listed (and the fact that they hadn't sold yet) had me wondering.

    I think I'll go ahead and list them on CL & the local trader paper at what I had thought.
    Of course if any members wanted them at the prices unc suggested, they're welcome to them.
