I have a Quantum board missing the ROMs. Obviously doesn't work. What is a fair value for this please? I purchased it this way as part of a larger deal so I can't break out what is the "real" price I paid. I have a buyer so I'm just trying to be fair to him and also myself.
 
I know they are not cheap. Im going to guess $300-$500, if its in good repairable condition.

Don't throw a price out there like that unless you're making the guy an offer-

I need to change my tagline to something like

I'm sure if the price is out of line, someone will step in and let me know. I asked for a fair price and gave my explanation why. It is technically sold. The guy has the right of first refusal on it. I could put it on eBay and let him fight for it there but then there is the possibility that
(a) It goes for a ridiculous amount and out of his price range thus negating the rest of the dealings we've been doing
(b) I get accused of shillling the bid because I know I have an active buyer
(c) IF and when I DID pull the item as it gets close to the auction ending, I get negative consequencesfrom future buyers because I ended the auction early in order to protect him from losing the item.

If it is any consolation, I will be "selling" it for less than fair market value. Strange how I do things like that. I just didn't want to say to the buyer $500 without some justification. Looks like I was a bit high anyway. See how that works? Still looking for a few more "estimates" to be sure I'm not gouging the guy. BTW, the buyer (you know who you are) can't give me an estimate. :)

Thanks guys.

I was talking to a collector the other day, he is restoring a Quantium. He saw a non working board go on ebay a few months ago for more than my estimate.

Guy asked what they are worth $300-$500 is what I would expect to pay if I were looking:p

Working is the key. They bring a greater $ when working, but still command half that non-working. They don't come up often either.
 
FWIW, I picked up a working Quantum board (as my extra) off of eBay about 3 years ago for $425 if I remember correctly.

I'd still say that a working board should fetch in the $400-$600 range.

Just my 2 cents...

Thanks for the input guys. The buyer threw me a price which I agreed to. We are both happy. I will say it was less than $500 but more than $250. I agreed not to divulge to price to protect the innocent. There are other items in the mix that affect the price of the board. I give on one item and take on another. I'm happy, he's happy. Thanks again.
