Megasquirt V3.00 Board with Spark - what's it worth?

I have one of these in the garage I built a couple of years ago and never fitted. (Basically I bought the kit from Glen's Garage and built it just before my son was born and never had chance to go back to it...)

Basically it's built for wasted spark with 2xVB921 drivers - was going to go on my zetec engine.

Before converting to spark, I'm pretty sure I tested it on a Stim.

May have some of the original notes from when I built it but not too sure (need to dig).

Soldering has been checked by my uncle who does embedded electronics for a living so should be of a good standard.

Basically I'm having a clearout and wondering - what's it worth....?

its gotta be worth at least £150. although the vb921's are now superseded by bip373's as they are much more reliable, its a pretty easy upgrade for anyone that buys it though. two transistors and two resistors to change and thats it done.

Just the board or the board and CPU, if so MS1 or 2? Built MS1 kits still go for over 200 on fleabay regularly, MS2 and you are looking closer to 300 easily.

Agree, A built and working MS, is £200 or more depending on exactly what it is, and whats with it.
That's a fair price.

I've seen them on Fleabay for up to £400. But thats plain crazy prices.

Thanks, chaps. When I get the time, I'll dig it out the garage and see exactly what I do have.

I honestly can't remember whether I bought a Stim to go with it or not now...
