selling an ECU: what is fair market value?
I have a plain ECU and an APR modifed (v3) ECU for my 99.5 1.8T. New, chipping an ECU costs $400 and buying an ECU outright is $780. What is a fair price to charge for selling a used modified ECU? I don't want to lose out, but I don't want to screw anyone either. How would you guys price it?

Well, that's kind of my point...
If someone were to buy a new ECU ($780 from APR) and then chip it ($400) they would be out $1180. I suppose there are cheaper places to get ECUs, but still that's a rather steep drop to sell it for $600.

I agree. They don't wear out...
I did finally sell my bumper, but I had people offering me $.50 on the dollar for it also, so it should not surprise me that someone wanted a deal on the ECU as well.
Thanks for your input, Ed. Whatever happened to your Nokia 8260 phone kit if I may ask? I have a plug it into the cigarette lighter kit, and I wanted to use my Audi wiring for the speaker and mic. Do you have any of the pinouts and such left? Thanks!
