What are these two items "realistic value"?

[psycho]

I got both of these for some money owed to me and would like to sell if it is worth the effort.
Both amps work fine and the boards in both are spotless, but the cases have a few holes and the meter works.
The Texas Star 400 has 4 x SRF2072 finals and the variable modulator has a 2290. No Ebay for me but a fair price has me guessing.

I was always told a dollar per watt..

 

[psycho]

I wish I could find an idiot to give me a dollar a watt.

I was always told a dollar per watt..

That old number was floated around since at least 1977 when I entered into the hobby.

I looked it up and the dollar a watt number was peak............so this 400 is worth $350 and the Amarillo is worth $80.
First $430 takes it and I'll ship for free! LMAO

I bought a new 500 V last year for 369.00. so if the 400 is at that price the 500V may still be the same new.

Around here the dollar a watt for a used CB amp thing was put to rest when competition boxes became common.

 

[sonoma]

here used amps are rated by how it looks and if it works and goes for about 50 cents a watt. all the places up north have always seemed to be higher. even radio work out east and up north has always been about 2 times the price charged here.

Just don't let the buyer talk you into meeting them behind the Chick-fil- A at 3am to do the deal and you'll be ok.
