This is such an odd range

The top one, and the black one were probably BIN's (single bids). The bottom one for 450 was fought for (20 bids), there fore I would use that as an appropriate "market value".
So if Market value is $450, and you paid $400 for it, and you don't want to sell it for more than you paid, then I think selling it for $400 is a fair and just price while still being within market value.

$400 sounds fair to me as well. The market here in Ireland is weird, though, so I doubt I'd get that. We'll see. That €300 would take me out of debt.

I always sell things for market value. If you dont, then the next guy will excitedly thank you for the awesome deal and then flip it himself for all the profit a month later. People shouldn't be treated like dicks for selling things they own that have rocketed up in value. Do you judge the guy who bought an LP for $400 in 1959 and then sold it for $500,000 in 2014? Of course not. Getting lucky and turning a profit is fine. Buying something and immediately flipping it for a profit the next week is less fine but part of the game. People are free to do with their own things as they wish. People that hate on them for it are generally just jealous that they didn't get as lucky or cant afford the going rate for rare toys.

SRS. If 230 pounds (just say no to Euros) would get you out of debt, ask for 400.

I recently had Austin update mine with the preset mod and fell in love with it all over again. Awesome pedal.
As for selling, I'd list it on eBay auction-style and let it rip. Why not make as much as buyers willingly bid?

Yep. Expensive shit goes pretty slowly here because we're for the most part a bunch of broke ass fuzz dudes except, but put it out to market and auction the shit out of it!

Didn't you just do this with that Sonic Crayon?
pre-emptively: Jealousy's got nothing to do with it.

I see no problem with selling it for a giant profit if you can.
But the best thing to do is to ask yourself what the pedal is worth to you.
If you'd be happy selling it for $100, that's an okay thing to do.
Just sell it for what you'd be happy with getting.

Maybe if it was endangered eagle eggs or proof of life on Mars, but a box that makes your volume go up and down, I would sell it for whatever you can get for it. I do that because I barely scrape a living - it would be different if I had enough money - I guess I'd try and find someone who was gonna make good use of it and give it to them free in a gesture to the advancement of mankind through art.

I owned that pedal for well over a year (maybe several years, don't remember) and used it quite a bit before I realized I needed a glitch pedal with differing functionality. I sold the Sonic Crayon for a price that would allow me to purchase a revolver. So no, I did not flip it directly after buying.
