K3 Price Ideas

[Mike K4PI]

I have a K3 I am planning on selling to a local here but want to get
some input as to a fair price.  I have looked at many ads for used gear
but with the many variation of the K3 it is hard to come up with a
price.  I have a K3 SN 5895 that was factory assembled with the KAT3,
KIO3, and KSYN3A synthesizer.  It is very clean.  No filters other than
the standard SSB filter.  I would appreciate any input which you can
email direct to me if you prefer. [hidden email]

If I were to sell my rigs, I think I would go back and look at some previous successful sales, and figure out the range of percentages of the new price that they were asking.  Then I would calculate the new price of my rigs and apply a percentage somewhere in that historical range.

As a general rule, I do not pay more that 2/3 of the new price for any
ham gear - that is just my personal clip-point, yours and others may
vary.  So figure what you paid for the K3 and whatever options/upgrades
you bought and go from there.

If you are willing to offer the buyer a short term money back guarantee,
that will give you a leg-up on a higher price.  Consider that the buyer
will be buying it as an unknown and may want to send it in for a general
checkup and any possible upgrades, so that will affect your asking price
by about $250.
