As the title says... Bought new for �300 or something years back, grown out of it but still in near perfect condition asthetically and in perfect working order.
I wouldnt ebay it so it'd be a come try and collect thing... Would that lower its price? I have the original adaptor and 95% sure the Box + Manual too.
Just looking for a ballpark Thanks |

| I know it is no help AT ALL... but if it was here in Calgary, a good price would be $200 (what I paid for mine), optimistic would be $250. |

Here's what the last 10 that sold on eBay went for... �145 �147 �170.01 �142 �190 �185 �164 �170 �175 �200
All in varying condition, with or without boxes. Some plus postage. Quite a range there I'd say, but a little higher than your �80-120 estimate. 200-250CAD would be more like �130-�170, which would tie in with the UK ebay price.

I'm very cautious about buying second-hand. I'd hate to spend a large amount on a vintage pedal to find out the bloody thing doesnt work I'll always have a look though and if theres something decent and local I'll check it out !
Currently paying off a new laptop though, after which I'm after a new guitar! |

I can only agree! Buying at eBay is pretty riskless these days, especially with PayPal, but selling is another thing. eBay and PayPal are expensive when it comes to fees. But I also got most of my used gear from eBay auctions.
Latest example: Boss LM-2 pluss 2 DI-Boxes: 31,70 �. Sold the DI-Boxes for 23,50 �. Apart from the eBay fees the LM-2 I kept cost me 8,20 �!!!  |

Yeah, I was going to bung some stuff on eBay a while back, but the fees are way too high. Those guys must be making a packet. |

There are only 2 of these previously sold on eBay, and neither were 100% working. One was totally humped, and had screws missing, among other stuff and went for �2.20. The other had dodgy connections and went for �77. |

| I'm with you when it comes to selling on ebay: when (if) I find a decent CE-2 I'll sell my BF-3 locally for 50 � or so to avoid hassle and fees. |
