advice on pricing uncommon gear

I am considering tinkering with some systems I have - long story short, either selling some modwright or metronome gear. This post pertains to the metronome. I have the MT100 signature and CD1 signature. They are in perfect shape and work flawlessly. Any idea how to price that gear? The blue book data are limited.

This is not a troll, but I do want some guidance before I do something stupid.

Many thanks for any input.

Unfortunately, the re-sale price on uncommon gear is pretty low in general. People want to buy the brands that get lots of advertising/reviews. Those brands hold their re-sale values well. Little known brands tend to suffer on re-sale value, which is unfortunate for the seller, but good for the buyer.

I bought a used CODA amp on the used market for about 80% off of the list price. It works and looks great. CODA is as good as a lot of the Krell, Threshold, Levinson, Classe and Rowland amps that I've heard and owned, but they do not advertise or pay for reviews. So their re-sale value suffers. I'm afraid that is what you are up against.

I agree with Jmcgrogan2 thee isn't better value any where than Coda when it comes to high end SS.
Their resale is good too!
That and they will always take an old Coda on a tradeup.

Unless you want to give them away: Figure out your bottom Dollar and start an eBay auction at that price.
