John, You are running into the New Consumer. They don't care how good the quality is, and they don't care what something would reasonably be worth; they want everything for free, or very close to it. They think that something new for $400 will obviously be better than something refurbished for $300 that was better quality in the first place (dealing with this now; I sold someone something and her know-it-all kid came back from college and gave her an earful of disinformation....sigh....she was happy up to that point......) If you don't want to keep it around awhile, you may have to dump it. If you aren't willing to give it away, you'll just have to sit on it for awhile. If you're patient, you may find someone older who knows the value of your fine machine, understands what a rare find its condition is and the value of the upkeep you've put into it, and is willing to pay what it's truly worth. eBay might help you find such a person, though I think their fees are a bit steep......
