It's hard to say without recent sales to use as a guide, but to pull a figure out of the air I'd guess a $1000 for the ota or $2000 for a whole working scope.
People tend to upgrade from the 8" to larger scopes so demand for the 8" isn't as great, and the fork mount Meade's seem to devalue quickly once they leave the shop. I bought a new 8"LX90 for $3800 and sold it about 6 years later for about $1250 - currency changes worked against me at the time but you're in a similar situation now.
