Athlon 64 X2 5200+ selling price

Hi there, all.  I recently upgraded to a new Phenom II X4 940 CPU, and have no need of my old Athlon 64 X2 5200+ (2.6 GHz).  Does anyone know what a reasonable selling price would be for the old one, or if selling would be worth the time for the money?  Thanks!

got the 5200, but 2.7ghz, the heatsink retention frame broke on my
motherboard, i always thought gigabytes were good, i had auto shutdown
set to the lowest temp, so, it should have survived...  i usually go to
ncix, now that vibecomputers is gone.  i guess, 2/3rd the current retail
price there for the same chip, if it hasn't been overclocked, 1/3 if it
has.  there's stuff in the box that wouldn't come with it, there'd be
some wearing out, uncertainty about the handling of it, the cute sticker...

New price at ncix is CAD $66.25
http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=27680&vpn=ADO5200DOBOX&manufacture=AMD

Another way to do it is to check eBay. Used price seems to hang around
US $40-45 (see the green numbers, not the red):
http://completed.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=Athlon+64+X2+5200%2B&_sacat=3667&LH_Complete=1&_rdc=1

Of course then there's shipping, and sometimes tax. But it seems that
2/3rd the new price is about right. Maybe above $50 if it's in sweet
condition? Maybe $40 "for quick sale"? Something like that.

I'm not actually interested myself; just thought I might throw out
some numbers as a potentially objective 3rd party.

Thanks a lot, that's quite helpful.  I'm not necessarily looking for a buyer (though that would be nice), I'm mostly just looking for an appropriate price to list it as.
