You could see what comparable rigs are going for on eBay to get an idea of what you should price yours at. Usually it's cost / useful life. And then the useful life is calculated at 1 year = 12 months, 2 years = 24 months, then add whatever month you sell it in (for instance May is 5/12 or 0.42). Then subtract that amount from what you initially paid for the rig.

So you could do it this way - £1000 / 2.42 = £416. £1000 - £416 = £584, so yeah, about £500 - £600 is where you want to set your target price at.

There's a formula for computing depreciation, but rather than spell it out, the easiest way is that however much you paid for it, expect to get about 1/2 of what you paid for it. So if you paid, say, $1250 for your rig, expect it to sell for about $600. Some parts may be worth more individually if you sell them that way so keep that in mind.

I paid about £1000 for it but that was around 2 years ago, should i sell it for £500, or less because it is 2 years old?
Thanks.
