Good condition?
Are all components working properly?
Does it need parts/work?
Cosmetic condition?
These are the things a buyer wants to know about one of these systems.
Most of the systems advertised for sale online need some sort of work/repairs.
I did not find any sold systems and as you can see for listings, a seller can ask any price for their items but only a sold item can offer any type of value.
Consoles are very hard to sell as the market is probably in the bottom 3% of items buyers are looking for.
Location is what will determine your final value along with the working condition.

You can always try listing your set with several good pictures and a very good description on sites like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and other local sites. Start your price higher, best offers, and local pick up. Leave it listed for several weeks and if no offers lower the price and wait again. This is how you can 'test' your local market.
