Having owned and subsequently sold 3 V2s, I'd say anywhere between $575 and $700, wouldn't expect more and certainly wouldn't take any less.

Where your price falls in between there would be based on condition, age, use, etc.

that sounds like a good range

if I was shopping for one currently I wouldn't pay over $650 and would consider $600-625 a pretty good deal...

I just paid $600 for one in fair condition.  Works great but some of the numbers are rubbed off etc.  I felt it was a fair deal.

i paid 575 for one that was used like 3 or 4 times.

the dude that sold it to me had it only a few weeks before the v3 came out, got a v3 and put that one aside.

I sold my V2 and SBM as a set.  Depending on where in the range you price an SBM with coax mod, I got between $600 and $675 for the V2.

I noticed some mention of how your V2 looked.  I don't know if it's those marks on the edge of the panel, but every V2 I've seen has those to some degree.  On mine I thought that is just how they come.  Not damage, but just that sort of pitted finish.

I agree that $700 is at the very top of the range and will require a motivated buyer to pay that amount.   A V2 is worth every bit of $700 - in my opinion the going rate is not in line with how good a piece of gear it is.

600$ is fair.... If anyone knows of an AD2k+ I might be wanting to pick one up again. I dont know for sure but Im thinking hard about pulling the trigger on one.. I should have never sold mine.

600-650.....no more....no less IMO.  the fact that it could be had at 600 is a steal!  one of the best 2channel DC powered pre's out there in the market without a doubt.

definately... amazing how good a pre that is.  I will never sell mine and may grab another one if I see a steal on it.  I use it ambient as well as an outboard for my multi rig.  Meters and gain adjustment take some getting used to though.
