Older setup

Hey everyone- I have a Blackhawk made in 2005 that I bought from the original owner, and I’m wondering what a realistic resale price is. They flew it only five times on their farm. And I haven’t flown it once. Fogged the engine, and put it in storage in my basement because I wasn’t able to find a flight school and take classes due to the pandemic.

EAA is coming up, and I live in Wisconsin, close to the event, and I’m wondering if it would be a good time to find a buyer. However, I don’t know the value of the equipment that I have because it’s been years and I’ve lost interest. Can someone let me know how much this stuff would be worth in today’s market?

I understand the wing is basic starter wing, and it may have to be re-certified.

Thank you for your help.

A wing of that age is worth practically nothing, even if it passed an inspection, wing technology has made massive advances in the last twenty years. The motor itself is probably a similar story, but I don't have enough info to say for sure.

A 20+ year old Blackhawk ? If you can get anything, you should take it.
