Just like with used cars, used cell phones, used musical instruments, used, guns, used computers, used cameras and used pro audio equipment a blue book is also used for home audio components to base trade in amounts. The equipment you mention is nice equipment however say the filter capacitors in a unit are no longer good (even though it still plays) that can result in AC ripple being sent to speakers that can damage them. For us to be able to sell that equipment to a new owner we must first replace questionable components in the unit. In the case of the Bryston amplifier, it is a dual mono unit that requires four short size filter capacitors this can have a large effect on the trade in value of the unit. This is why we can not give a absolute value on any unit before first inspecting first. When we sell a used home audio component the filter capacitors are checked, other capacitors are checked for overheating and dreaded brown glue that can become conductive when dried out is removed, switches are cleaned plus the Bias and DC offset are checked in receivers and amplifiers before we will put them up for sale. We would like to give more units in great working condition as then we do
