I'm toying with selling my old DV27A, and wondering what sort of price to ask for if I do. I would imagine it might be worth something as a CD player, but I guess the lack of HDMI output or upscaling would be a problem for DVD playback (from many people's perspective).
 
I used to have one of those players. I sold it when Arcam released the DV29. I think that if you're lucky you might get £30 for it. You're probably better off letting a charity like BHF take it off your hands, as the cost of sending it anywhere will probably make any sale pointless.

Hmm. Okay. :-(
 
It's annoying, but things move on, and however well you've looked after something, its value is governed by its feature set compared to current technology. Take a look on ebay to get a price guide, but without features such as HDMI I can't see it having much value other than perhaps for spares.

If it's any consolation I'm giving my Arcam DV79 to a friend who has no interest in Blu-ray or UHD. I've had 12 years use out of it and it's still in good nick. But with a 55" 4K OLED coming it's not going to be much use with that. A charity or a friend is the best option. At least someone will still appreciate the quality.
 
A quick search of recently sold DV27s on eBay shows they've gone for between £42 and £139.
