I paid about 13,500 for an 83 with low hours on the inboard diesel, fresh blister job and bottom paint, new deck and topside paint, roller furling, new main, new asym chute, very good jib and genoa, repacked stuffing box, VHF radio, good batteries (one new) and an OK dodger. It only need some troubleshooting of certain instruments and brightwork varnish. I was willing to pay more for a boat that I wouldn't have to sing time and money into for a few years and could sail it immediately. And Portland OR is a much smaller market than other areas.

I'm getting ready to sell mine, as well, and I'm running into this problem. In my area people are asking too little to sell they're C27's, so I have to lower the price on mine to be "reasonable. " The problem is I've dumped $10k into it since I bought it, so if I drop down below that I'm losing money. Go for what you can get, $12k sounds like a good starting point. If you start lower than that you're not just short-changing yourself, but others in the area trying to sell they're boats, too. Just my $.02.
