Arca Swiss Cube

Classic or flip lock? Geared panning or no? Case or no? Where are you located? What’s the condition? Are you looking for a quick sale or no?
additional information would be helpful.
Other approaches if you’re unsure on price - list for what you’d want to get, see if anyone bites, and come down gradually over time. Checking out “completed listings” at the big auction site in the cloud can also give you an idea. There were 5 im seeing that sold on eBay (4 in US, one in UK) in the past 2.5 months in the 1225-1450 USD range.

The last 3 sold on FM went for 1099, 1250 and 1350. Different conditions and specs.

Definitely try first here at GetDPI and also over at Luminous-Landscape----I think you'll find more interest for the Cube.

Side note.. where does one get a case for a cube after the fact?
This is my current solution.. big lens pouch.

Your C1 cover appears to be an elegant solution, mine is a bright yellow wash cloth (LOL). However, Arca does offer a costly leather case that can be ordered from B&H, but from the reports that I've encountered it is not form fitting, and the cube can rattle around inside. And if you leave your cube attached to the tripod, as I do, the case is virtually useless. The wash cloth acts primarily as a dust deterrent, since the cube/tripod combo is kept in the studio, no walkies for that pair. That said, I'm going to rummage through my dust collecting lens pouches to see if one will fit.

This valuable hint has been given in the „the great tripod and head thread“ some years ago . I can‘t find the post anymore , but I use that Optec pouch for my cube since that time .
I think there is no better solution to protect your cube C1 when mounted on the tripod .
Thanks Ken, will do. Is LULA a thing these days?
I just don’t use it any more. I have a D4G which sees much more use.
It's still there and the For Sale section is active, but GetDPI sees more traffic and is livelier. Doesn't hurt to list at LuLa. As Ken said, here and LuLa are prob the best places to list. GLWS! I've been looking out for my own Cube but the timing isn't right for me.

I think LuLa has really gone downhill since Kevin Raber left. But traffic is traffic to sell an item, right?
I'd visit Kevin's new website too---- www.photopxl.com

I just had mine overhauled by Bob Watkins at Precision Camera Works the 2nd time in ten years (I should have used a pouch!), and couldn't be happier with it. It looks like hell, but works perfectly. Saved me a bundle too because the option was buying a new one.
