Chris, I'd use KEH prices and then go to ebay and up the prices for ebay and Paypal fees. You can start ebay with a low price, set your reserve at what you need, and offer a Buy-it-Now price for 10-20% more than you want. You may be surprised by some Buy-it-Now offers. Your only problem will be shipping from the UK. It is outrageously expensive! Regards, Bob S.
