I have decided to sell my 3 Ikelite DS200 substrobes, and purchase the DS161 substrobes. The 200's have super output, but I want the video light feature offered by the 161's. Any suggestions on the best place to try and sell the strobes (Ebay?)? What might be a fair asking price, they were purchased during winter 2008-2009. Function perfectly and have minor exterior scratching on the case. Also have spare batt door o-rings, and modeling light back-up. I don't want to sell the chargers though (they will work onthe 161's). Thanks for any suggestions.

Having just purchased a second 161, I can vouch for quality. I don't know about keeping the chargers... A strobe without a charger isn't much good so not including them is going to be a real deterrent to a buyer I think. I don't know you can order the 161 without the charger anyway... and even if you can, the difference probably isn't much...I don't want to sell the chargers though (they will work on the 161's). Thanks for any suggestions.I'd start by listing the stuff here. I recently bought a system on this board, and didn't really look anyplace else...

I was under the impression that the charger is usually sold seprately (as most other Ikelite strobes are sold unless you buy a kit). The charger goes for about $100. The same battery charger is used the the DS200/DS160/DS161/DS125 (so I would like to keep my charger). I have 3 of the DS200's to sell, in good used condition. Anyone know what a fair asking price per strobe would be? I can not find any used ones being sold on the online auction sites.

Try them at $500 and see if anybody bites. Problem with 200s is that they are discontinued, and repair parts may also be out of stock, so it may be difficult to get anyone to invest too much in a system that is on the way out.
