whats it worth

I have a brand new, never used BRB 1b MC preamp. I am the original owner with all the original packaging etc. i want to put it up for sale here but have no idea on what it is worth. I have done a search of ebay and the rest of the internet and could not find a hint of where to price it at. I know the original price (I have the receipt) but that is it. I gotta believe the demand is small but if i remember right, it was a pretty good unit.

Any ideas?
Thanks, in advance

Are you asking about a Bryston 1B preamp? Lot of info using Google.

Wow, BRB, that brings back some memories. My first store
was a BRB dealer for the short time that BRB was a company.

BRB submitted an amp to TAS and got a glowing review. This
amp was in the same genre and price range of the Hafler
DH200/DH220, B&K ST-140, Amber Series 70 of the time.

BRB, more or less, sent TAS a "prototype"
amplifier. Once the amp came to market, there were numerous
changes to it and sounded completely different from the
review sample.

Well, needless to say, BRB tanked almost as fast as they
became a company. They did have a pre-preamp also, which is
the one you have.

IMHO, the preamp you have is probably only worth around 25%
of the retail price, (if that).

Sorry, you happen to have a piece of gear that has a storied
history, (and not a good story).

I would first match parameters and price ranges per specific parameters of your pre to compare with to derive the right price.
