I meant ebay will probably not have any sold in the past 30 days to look up a value point, and even if they did values for the same piece of equipment vary a ton every time they infrequently go for sale.

Ebay isn't allways the best place for selling collectables anyway (but you do get the most eyeballs at ebay). Case in point an Apple 1 motherboard that hit $30K on ebay sells for 10x that amount at Sothebys auction house.

2-3X scrap value? The ones I've allowed to name their price wanted the free price, not 2-3X scrap. One I even offered for free, and said just send me a stamped padded envelope and it's yours. I never heard from him again.
That's why I recommend just letting the market name the price, currently known as ebay auctions, since they're the only place with the volume of traffic it takes to do that, and why i recommend the ten days on less offered items, to give as many as possible the chance to find or run across it. I also highly recommend using the pre-listed feature, or whatever it's called. That gives your listing a big head start over just listing it and waiting until it finally shows up there. It used to cost a dime, and that was the best dime you could spend on ebay
