Audiogon bluebook price for Kenwood KA-9100

Fongolio

I have a Kenwood KA-9100 integrated that I've used for a back-up when either of my Carver's is down. Most of the time it sits and does nothing. I have a guy interested in buying it but don't know it's true value. Can anyone with accesss to Audiogon bluebook give some idea? This is a built like a tank dual mono design from Kenwood's golden age. By the way...no rack handles and no wood case.

Thanks

Kelvin, don't find one listed on blue book, KA-7300 is as close as they have listed.

There is one ending on ebay in a couple of days. Might be a start. Good luck Kelvin.

The important thing to remember about Ago, as a buyer, and maybe as a seller, is that average price is misleading, especially if the unit has been on the market for a few years. Look at the most recent prices, which are almost always lower...unless you have something that is just a hot item in the used market.

I sometimes wonder if the A-gon bluebook is a simple average, or is it weighted for most recent sales? Looking at the charts it sometimes seems that the bb value is less than what a simple average would be. Of course without the real numbers there it's hard to be sure.

I ended up getting $300 which is pretty good. Ebay has some selling higher and some selling lower. I'm happy and the buyer is happy. Sad to see this fine piece of vintage audio go though.

I'm on Audiogon BB and Orion/Used Price.com and the more accurate is the latter....although I've found AG to be a faster reflection of newer gear. As mentioned previously, you still need to watch trending and moreso than when you want to actually sell your ****. There's much more to selling than what happened last week.
