I'm gonna Ebay my Alpine CDA-7897 and get a newer deck. Anyone know how much I could pull for this item? It'll be newly refurbished as I sent it in for warranty just so I could get more sell value from ebaying it, waiting to get it back atm. Anyhoo... Here's some info.

The price of it when it was new was 650$ MSRP. Most places now are selling it 450-550$ range. Will those be refurbished items also? Since it's an older deck?

Here's a couple links for the feature lists:

looking on eBay, it looks like you'll get $175 for it.

Resale value of car audio equipment is horrible. $200-300 for it at most saying that it's "used".

it's gonna be refurbished, not used. If I can only haul 175$ for it... I say fuck it.. cuz thats brutal.

Refurbished- as far as customer perception- gives the impression of "it's been broken before". Doesn't look like a much better option than used is (though it may very well be).

give it a try man.

i started my pioneer 4600 deck on eaby at $50, it ended up selling for $115. bought it for $170, and it was a year old.
