The Whole is Greater Than the Sum of it's Parts, Right?

[BeZo]

I built an IEM rig for my band to use, but they decided they don't want to use it. Basically, the half of the band that wants to use it doesn't feel it's worth dragging to shows for just the two of us. I still use my Rolls PM50S to run my vocals and just use ambient ear buds, and the rest is just a glorified PA now.

I got a new mixer to use as a PA and I want to sell the IEM rig. I priced out all of the hardware (rack, mixer, splitter, headphone amps, and cabling), and I'm at about $1200 invested into it, but there was a lot of time on top of that. I soldered up a breakout panel for FOH, and made snaked for each member. I have no plans to take it apart and sell i off piece by piece, so i want to sell the setup as a whole. What do I even charge for all this?

Odds are you will get the most money, and probably start recouping your outlay faster if you part things out individually. Especially if any of it is still mint/NIB.

Whether or not dealing with more transactions, and trips to ship stuff out is worth getting a bit of your money back faster, and possibly getting a little more for it all is up to you.

Actually the Whole is just as good as the weakest link.
800 Bucks?

I might be interested in the earwax. Trade for some pubes?

Most of the major components I bought used, so I would get my cost back out of it. The stuff I bought new, like the rack case and the breakout panel parts, don't really lose value. If anything, they are worth more assembled than by splitting things up.

I'm sure I'll get lowball offers, but at that point, I would just start taking items out to reach their price point. $800? I'll keep the cables, snakes and headphone amps and sell the mixer splitter and case.

No ear buds are included. That's gross.
