I'm considering replacing and selling my Crest board, but I really have no
idea what they're going for now. It's in very good condition - looks like
new and the only functional problem is a couple of the trim pots have a
little noise when turned.

If the going price is too low I'll just hang on to it - no need to dump a
good board.

Thanks,
Sean

new they are going for 1800-2200 but it doesn't really offer much a
soundcraft lx-7/16 doesnt offer at 1/2 that price
the crest name was dragged thru themud when Peavey bought them
I think it is worth more as a working unit in your inventory than as a for
sale item, pull some more value from it then see what the market is doing
personally I'd have a had time justifying a new xr when products like the
presonus16.4.2 and the O1V96 v2 are at the same price point

Unfortunately I'm pulling zero value from it since I've switched back to
playing. My band is gigging just about every free night I have now, using
their own rig, so the Crest has just been sitting in a rack covered up. It's
not going to increase in value over time, that's for sure.

Maybe I should look at trading it for some gear that I do need, like a
smaller mixer and an amp. I cover my own monitor needs for my drums, so I
carry a small rack and a couple of 18's for that.

I have had good luck listing items on the pro sound forums,
www.prosoudweb.com and www.proaudiospace.com
both offer a free classified section
