I gave away my boat which once was worth $25k if you could buy one...giving it away saved me 5k in repairs so why wait for a price that would never happen.. That was 4k if I was lucky.

Boats are far worse than astro gear. I had built a beautiful Murray Isles designed 6.5m Javacat power catamaran, which took me five years of my life and around $30k all up to complete. Looking at the commerical pop-out boats of that size, they sell for $100k plus. I had to sell my boat to pay my divorce lawyer and got no where near what I had even spent on materials.
It comes down to your equipment quality and your level of desperation to get any return in a short period of time. Even trying to wait for a perfect buyer may not produce one. At least on IIS you have a catchment of shared interest, the downside is that they all think they know what something is worth, until they try and sell it themselves.
