You can sell it on ebay, the classifieds here, or craigslist.

If you add up all the parts current new cost and subtract between 15-30%, that is what you can expect to get for it.

Here's how you calculate how much your system is worth:

Take what you paid for it, subtract salvage value (if there is any) and divide it by the lifetime of the unit, and then when you go to sell it multiply the value by the month of sale (Feb. = 2/12, March = 3/12, April = 4/12, etc.)

For instance a $2500 rig with a salvage value of $650, owned for two years would depreciate this way:

(($2500 - $650) / 2)) = $925

Year 1: $2500 - $925 = $1575

Year 2 (if selling in March) = $925 * (3/12) = $231.25

$1575 - $231.25 = $1343.75

That will give you the book value of the system. If you sell it over that it's a gain on sale. If you sell it under that it's a loss on sale.
