Shure V15 Type VMR - What is it worth?

[tcdriver]

What is a reasonable value of a Shure V15 Type VMR complete with stylus with some use? I have checked ebay sold listings and there seems to be a wide range of prices.

Thank you in advance for your opinions.

Interesting question- are you buying or selling? But I think the history from eBay kinda speaks for itself. You just never know on some items.

Unrelated but I’ve been to Shure many times in Chicago/Niles. They have a huge display hall that has all their products from day 1. I recall the V15 type III’s in there.(I have 3) I sold components to them and they were my largest customer, but I’m retired now. Absolutely wonderful people and tremendously well run business.

Looks like $150-$200ish for a bare cart. If you find one with box and stylus it’s upwards of $400. I’d probably choose a bare cart if I were shopping for one and then look at these. https://www.jico-stylus.com/cartridge-number/v15vxmr/

Thanks Lux Man and Lazarus Long for the thoughtful input. I am thinking that when inflation is factored in, the cartridge is now less expensive than when sold new.
