I hope this is the right place for this.

Some 16 years ago I bought a modified SEOS CRT projector based on the Barco Graphics 1208.
I was young, naive and the concept of not having enough space as a grown-up was alien to me.

Fast forward to today and the Barco has now been living in my car's trunk for the past two weeks.

As much as I love CRT projectors, it was in hindsight a bad "investment" for me, since throughout the entire time I got to use it just once before moving it to storage (as an indie game developer, I admittedly regret not getting a Sony Net Yaroze at the time. At least then I wouldn't be in the situation I'm in now...)

Anyhow. I got until January 7 2025 to find it a new home (unless I can find a way to store it in parts), so I'd be rather grateful for some help.
I'm in dire financial straits too, so I would love to at least make back some of the money.

The projector is currently located in the southwest of Germany, just a smidgen off the Swiss border.

Any idea what it might be worth and how I might find a buyer ASAP?

It was stored in a dry place for all those many years but, admittedly, the last maintenance job happened just days before I bought it back in 2008.

You pretty much have to give it away at this point, or take it to a recycler if you do that in Deutschland.

There's no demand, except for maybe the HV quadrupler and splitter, but if you haven't turned it on since 2008, there's a good chance the HV section has failed due to no use. (they age/fail just by sitting there).

A much higher end Sony G90 just sold on eBay for $300 with low hours on it in the US. It was a similar scenario, a customer bought it from me about 15 years ago never used it. I think it had 1200 hours on it.
