[Heath] Determining Asking Prices

[jmhorwath at charter.net]

Hi Gary, if you find a magical formula, please let me know.  I have 
about 20 pieces of assembled but never used test equipment and another 
20 pieces of what I would consider very slightly used equipment.  I also 
have a 21 inch Color TV purchased through DeVry Institute (made by 
Heath) along with all manuals and schematics.  I have never advertized 
them for sale simply because I don't know how to value them.  I don't 
even know what their original prices were.

Thanks for any help you can provide and have a Great Thanksgiving 
Holiday.
