Probably worth a few hundred bucks if near mint. More with original box and manual. I own the Kenwood equivalent and it has a small cult following. I've been offered $500 for my Kenwood but I'm the original owner and have the original box, manual and receipt.

Check that auction site for current prices on the SX 1250, the SX 5590 is very difficult to find given the number produced. There's a number of folks who would be willing to pay a premium over a SX-1250. The SX 1250 can sell from $500 to over $1,000 depending on condition. Alot of hardcore Pioneer experts feel the SX-1250 / SX - 5590 were the best receivers ever produced by Pioneer.
