Funny I was kind of looking into the going rate too due to an offer currently available.

Look at the 5500 systems for sale on Ebay. Current and closed listnings + whatever places online were you find for sale.

That is how you can get an idea of the value.

Thanks. I'd been looking on eBay, but can only seem to find them separately. 

Even then people were looking for £225 for the CD 7000 alone. With that in mind could be looking at around £1000 which seems too much to me. 

 

Also forgot, I could also put my BeoVox 3000s with it. I can't find them at all on eBay.

People do tend to sell them separately, it seems that they raise more money that way. Some sellers are dealers/traders and so the prices will be a little higher and will include a short warranty. Try to find prices from private sellers.

You should sell that separately since it doesn't even match the rest of the system.

I just sold a nice condition Beosystem 5500 for £500, the CD5500 on its own is worth £200 and the Beogram 5500 with a nice fully working MMC4 cart is worth another £200, so basically the amp and cassette deck, and Beolink 1000 remote is worth another £100 ( plus the MCP 5500 remote, the big one)

the market for Beosystem 5000 seems to be doing well now too, as long as it has the CD50 and the Beogram 5000, I have sold three of these since xmas, all around £500 as well (but with the nice little Terminal 5000 remote in there as a bonus, and including an MCP 5000)

the key is to have a working and complete system, helps to have some original user guides as well, then demo with some great sounding floorstanders, and the sale is easy :-)

Great. 

 

Thanks everyone. I'm thinking separately is the way forward.

Wow, very good price! I consider the 5000 way outdated now and the 5500 lacking powerlink makes it a non starter for me, since this is the only way to get true line level out of this range after the 5000!
