Just curious, how much should a good X gear cost? I have one I want to sell but want to be fair AND sell it quickly.

but a gear known to sell for $400-$500 is not going to go for free (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

I am just looking to find what a fair price is as I know someone who is interested and would like to be sure to be resonable.

John, I let mine go last year for $150. Didn't take too long, but I also didn't have a heard of buyers breaking down the door for them.

$400 is carquip pricing and is what a retailer that is a known source can charge as they store them.

I usually sell them for $200 a set, but as mentioned there are sets on ebay that have been less so my prices are always negotiable. Prices for me factor in 3 things:

1) How much it cost me to acquire it from parting out a box (boxes with X gears in them are usually $400-750 so selling them at $100 a set will not cover the cost)

2) Market value - I cant sell squat if someone will sell it for less.

3) How bad I need the $$.

So, $150 is not unreasonable if you want it gone. If you want it gone sooner, sell it for less (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I was hoping you'd chime in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

How about an H gear? Found one of those sitting here too.

I bought my MSX gears from the good Dr for $600. The whole set seems to fetch the $200 a piece. One here and there seems to go for a tad less.

Harder to find, but the prices of these has been dropping as people who have been hoarding them have started selling them off at old school prices. I used to get $350, but some have sold for under $200. Again, it is what the market will bear. I have a gears for sale page in the classifieds if you want more pricing. When I end up selling a gear to one that I am rebuilding a box for, I sell it to them for what I paid for them. So, if I get a deal, you get a deal.
