like RezZ mention's checking with your local music store might turn up some good information too. especially if you have a good rapport with someone on staff and it's the kind of place that will buy and sell gear from its customers.

also plan on having people trying to lowball the hell out of you.

another option a lot of people don't consider with sites like CL is listing under multiple areas. be clear in your description that it's in a neighboring city even if it might get flagged as spam and removed. it might be exactly what someone who will just happen to be passing through your town next week has been desperately trying to find for years.

good luck on the sale.
Thanks man! I really appreciate your feedback.

That's $400/$500 US, right? I'm pretty stoked if that's really what I can get for it.
