Sold or Listed Prices
23 market transactions via web search — not HiFi Registry sales.
Understanding the market
Half of recorded transactions fall between $315 and $399. The full range runs 2.9× from lowest to highest, which is normal for used equipment where condition, included accessories, and service history vary between units.
Over the last twelve months this model averaged $355 across 4 recorded sales, 6% higher than the preceding twelve months.
What buyers should know
Confirm the terminations are intact and have not been re-soldered, and check the length matches your needs, since cables are difficult to resell in unusual lengths. Counterfeit cable from well-known brands is a real risk — buy from sellers who can establish provenance.
This range reflects 23 recorded sales, compiled from publicly listed and completed sales elsewhere on the used market, not from HiFi Registry transactions. That is a large enough sample to price against with reasonable confidence, though condition and provenance still move individual units.
