Aspen 1500 system value

[mikey757]

What do you guys think I could get for a 10 year old Aspen 1500 system, (PFD 1000, EFD 500, and EA100 Autopilot adaptor) in good working order?

My WAG is $5 -  8 AMU'S.  One of the difficulties will be the buyer finding a shop that will agree to install it. the recalibration of the unit for the aircraft and the autopilot in the same is necessary.

If it hasn't been updated to MAX, i think you would be fortunate to get $3-$4K.

You could get more money selling it piece by piece:

     screens (each of these screens are universal, it's the configuration module that makes them a 1000 or 500)

     config modules

     RSM Remote Sensor Module "antenna"

     and EA100, even harnesses

People would be comparing your prices to what replacement costs would be from Aspen.

Granted I only had an E5, but when I did my G3X panel I sold my old E5 setup to one of the avionics techs at the shop who was putting it in his older plane.  Like $1500 or so.  That seemed to be ballpark what people were getting on eBay at the time.

The EA100 box may have some value if it's working because they fail so frequently.  I went through 3 of them on my airplane, and I think they were $2500 to replace!

So the guess $5-8 AMUs above for the whole setup sounds about right to me, but really maybe the very low end of that.
