I look here and at actually sold items on eBay. KEH is a good place to look also.

look around for used ones in condition similar to yours either here on the B&S board, or on ebay, KEH can be good too, however they'll usually be slightly higher than the private used market.

Ebay completed/sold listing searches for an idea of what price to ask, as well as historical FM for-sale ads.

Then, sell it on FM or anywhere but eBay to get a better price, no fees, less hassle, and little to no chance of being scammed.

What protection does b&s have that means a seller has little to no chance of being scammed?

I have two for sale on ebay. Their international shipping programme means the whole world can bid on it for no hassle.

Here, most people are "known" for lack of a better way to put it. The reputation system also helps a lot. Selling on eBay (and I do sometimes) is a crap shoot because the "protections" offered are almost all in favor of the buyer. Seller beware and be dammed.

You can check people's post history as well as detailed feedback for previous transactions. Would you rather sell to someone who you talk to on a regular basis on FM with tons of feedback, 'likes', and post history, or some random in another country?

Further, eBay/PayPal has essentially zero seller protection, and sides with the buyer 99.9% of the time in disputes. Then, you pay what, 13% fees? It's just not worth it IMHO.

I have bought 2, 1 for 160 and the 2nd for 250. I would say 150 would be a very fair price for a good working one.

Here on B&S, the seller can always decide they don't want to sell to someone who brags about "returning items early and often" or other silliness.

Will never forget working in retail, when customers would bring in shoes- "I just don't like the way they feel"- and the soles were so worn out that it looked like they had ran a marathon in them...
