when the gear is less than 3 yrs old and in "like new" condition going rate I would accept is 1/2 of what it was brand new..any older either it would have to be free as in a gift or maybe 20% of new price if in mint condition and recently (past 6 months) serviced.Used gear has little value, as it costs so much to service you often are better of buying new.

The actual question is, what do you want to get out of it? Based on what you describe (and the description data are somewhat sparse), I would say $500 for the lot. And, if he talks you down to $400, that would still work for me.

I good tip is to go to sites like Amazon, do a search, and see what the same or similar equipment is going for.

hey guys thanks for all the feedback i apprecaite it. i did some research the regs were listed at 800.00 brand new, and im thinking that 400 would be a fair price for the gear...thanks again! sure do hate giving up diving, but who knows what the future will bring..happy fathers day to all
