Hey now,
Doing some market research to find out what my wmod UA-5 (with digi mod too) would go for if I were to sell it. I have two 1800mAh 9.6V NiMH battery packs, the charger, box, documentation, software, USB cable and receipts showing all mods done by Oade Brothers Audio - original owner in flawless condition. Used for about 7 months or so to record shows, always kept in my LowePro Nova 4 bag or in a hard case and never dropped or mishandled.
Tossing around the idea to upgrade to a V3 and would need to move the UA-5 ASAP if I decide to upgrade. (need to perform a stealth upgrade so the "wife or better half" doesn't freak out on me).
I am quite happy with the results the mod UA-5 produces, however I REALLY like the sound the V3 produces with my mod Nak700's and must have one! The problem is the price tag of even a used V3 is a bit hard to swallow......any creative thoughts from those of which who have kids, a suspicious wife and the upgrade bug to boot??
Thanks for the space!
Peace,
LeftoverSammy

you can always sell crack/a kidney/donate sperm...
good luck with the upgrade bug!

What, the Wmod sells for 550 new? The batteries and cable and charger prolly set you back $100 retail....
$575 would most likely be fair, you could even get 6 if you tried.
If I'm off on my memory of how much the wmod costs new, then deduct 50-75 from the new retail price to get the ballpark used value.
-
with all the accessories i'd say between $550-$600 would be a fair price. however i think a used w-mod UA5 is a highly sought after piece of gear. i would just have people make you offers. i bet you'd be surprised what kind of a response you might get.
-
you'd probably be able to get pretty close to what you paid for it... oade manufactured/modified gear holds its value very well.

I just ordered a w-mod UA-5 from Oade yesterday... it was $500. I just ordered two +9.6v 3000mAh batteries from batteryspace for it, and that was another $50, and I spent a little under $20 yesterday buying the parts to make the battery-power cord.
If you put that thing up on the Yard Sale, you would totally sell it, with a quickness. I know there are a lot of people looking for one of those...
I just knew someone was going to try to move one as soon as I bought it new... But, I wouldn't be surprised if you could get almost all your money back.
Peace-

Well I am 95% sure its gonna go up for sale in the next week or so since I have comitted to purchasing a V3 from another taper on Oade site. ;D
When I do I'll just ask for best offer and go from there. I plan to give my taping buddy first crack at it but if he doesn't want it then I'll post it hear and on Oade.com.
I really appriciate all your honest feedback ;) You're suggestions for market value were pretty much dead on for what I was hoping to get. Stay tuned....
FYI - I also plan to sell my old Sony D5 and just maybe, must maybe my matched set of Nak CM300's (CP-1 & CP-2 caps) and the rare CP-3 cap and a Nak CM100 mic. Still plan to keep my CP-4 shotguns however.
Thankx
