NEED ADVICE. Selling XL1 Package to private party.. $? at DVinfo.net

[I'm posting this here because I have someone interested in buying my XL package, I'm not trying to sell it here (unless he backs out). Apologies if I still should have posted in the classified section.]

Hi,
I'm getting ready to sell my old XL1 package to an interested buyer, but I wanted to get opinions from you guys to see if you think my asking price is too high/low before I give him a number.

Package:
-XL1 NTSC Body
-16x servo lens w/ UV filter
-3x lens w/ UV filter
-(x1) 2700mAh battery
-(x3) 4500mAh batteries
-Battery Charger
-CH-900 Dual Charger/Holder
-MA-100
-ZR-1000 zoom control
-Stock Canon mic (barely ever used)
-Lightwave Systems- System Isolator
-Lightwave Systems- XL mic muff/windscreen
-Misc. BNC, RCA, S-Vid Cables
-Portabrace PC-3 Large Production Case to hold it all.

Everything is in used but good working condition. The head has between 300-400 hours on Panasonic tapes only. Both lenses have been serviced within the last year and a half by Canon and Panavision (don't ask- long story).

I was thinking $2000.
What do you guys think? To little? To much?

Thanks,

Dude, I'm an expert at this. I must have looked at nearly 30-40 deals so far. I'd say that that's a reasonable price for an XL1. If it was an XL1s you could get as much as $2400. I'd say you are doing good with what you got as long as you and he are both happy with the deal it sounds about right. Lots of extras in there which is great.
