Pricing on a Black Big Muff

What would you guys say is a fair price for a Black Russian Big Muff (V8) that I'm trying to sell. The circuit board is flipped so the input and output are in a normal configuration. The pedal's on the right.

Well I've seen them go for as low as $40 on forums and as high as $110 on Ebay. I would think $70-80 would be fair

There's something a little off about the Volume knob in the sense that nothing works until it reaches 12 o'clock, not sure if it may be my amp volume with the knob volume is too low or anything but it's almost as if 12 is the start of the knob.

Maybe a connection from the solder came udone, or the pot is messed up. Either one is easily fixed and costs 5 dollars max

75-80 seems obscenely high, but I haven't followed the market in a few years. Is that really what they go for these days?

So would it be said that I'm under cutting myself here if I'm asking $60 for it?

60 for the muff with the volume pot problem? Somebody who is good with a soldering iron would consider that a great deal, while some others who just want to plug it in and play may just walk right by the offer, it really depends. Would you be able to fix it?

$60 shipped seems like a fair price to me. Reasonable, considering the demand for them, and more than you probably paid for it (I hope).

Not to get your hopes up, but I sold one for a friend in 2010 on eBay for $125 Buy It Now. Wasn't even one of those "big box" ones.

I know somebody who is good with a soldering iron however, neither of us are too particularly familiar with pedal board circuitry we managed to fix a problem it had last time, but it took a while.

I've bought and sold several, all for that price or less, so personally that's about were i'd keep it.
...and the pots in those go out all the time.
