I am considering selling my Ruby (VPL-VW100) projector. It is in great shape, mint condition considering it has about 1000 hrs (300 hrs on current bulb). What is a fair price to sell it for? I would also include mount, and box, with everything that came with it.
Fair sale price for Ruby?

I just picked one up with mount and under 200 original hours on it for $750 this week (it was a demo model used slightly then boxed up).
I think its worth much more but thats what I paid for it. The manual, cd were not opened and even came with original batteries still wrapped so it was about as pristine as possible.

Now that is a score chadnliz!!!!
I think so but I am biased, I wish it was a little smaller, little brighter and a little cooler at vent but its pic and case sure is purdy and price was almost a no brainer.I think they blacks look deeper than my Mitsu 6500 and its color is more film like than my Panasonic PTAX100 Thanks!

One with that kind of hours...maybe $1000ish. Remember that is a $700ish lamp and only rated at around 1500 hours...

Not sure what the "oops" means, but my post was intended for the OP. Your $750 deal is quite good.
Videogon dot com and then let your negtiation skills go from there, mine was listed for $3000 but well, I had naked pics of his wife...............jk

Seriously the times forces folks to sell for less than they desire as things are not moving, I waited till it was up a month and ad was ready to expire then pounced, plus I already had a unit so I was not desperate. So sometimes we just get lucky here and there, when mine needs a new bulb I will likely donate it to a friend and get something new or hope for another great deal on a used model.

The Planar PD8130 (now known only as the Runco LS3) is a great projector in its own right. There are pros and cons from something like this to a Ruby. But we always have to remember that the Ruby is several years old...technology keeps moving.
