Emotiva XPA-3 value

[Kruppy]

Hello, I’ve been out of the audio/home theater world for a while. Totally lost touch. I have a Emotiva XPA-3 amp, I think gen 1, that bought a number of years back. It’s in great condition and I think I want to sell it. Unfortunately, I don’t have an idea of its value. Did some quick searches on other sites I used to spend a lot of time at back in the day without coming up with anything. Can anyone help me out with a reasonable dollar value?

I'd say ask for 2/3 what you paid, expect 1/2. Post some photos on any sale thread you start to help affirm condition, including powered on. If you can take a short video to show that it works, some folk might like that, but not always necessary I'd think.

Also, if you happen to have kept original box and packaging, let folk know... Some will definitely like that.

Unfortunately, Emo doesn't really have a legacy support policy and this is known in many circles. Buying an older Emo will carry risks for those that know how quickly they tend to retire product and not have parts available.

Good luck on the sale!

From eBay past sales around $500.00, to $750.00 max if you are lucky. I would start with an asking price of $350 and see how it goes. Emotiva has a bad reputation I would not touch their stuff with a barge pole.
