    Since you ask, yes, your price does sound rather high. Remember,
    high-tech equipment is best purchased new: it's not like gold, which
    has intrinsic value, but its value lies in its promise to perform.
    The assurance that everything will work well is key, and this
    confidence fades when the machine is used (ie: if it's so great, why
    are you selling it?). Even though your MDX-15 doesn't have a lot of
    use, it's hard for people to justify spending nearly as much for a
    used machine as for a new one. And insisting that everything be sold
    together limits your potential customer base. Someone may want the
    scanner/mill, but already have mold equipment. They may want the mold
    equipment, but have no interest in CNC. They may want to buy a mill,
    but already have a computer and all the software they need. To get
    the best price for your various pieces of equipment and software, put
    them up on a website with pictures and complete descriptions (it
    helps to mention how much you paid for it new), and separate pricing
    for everything. Be prepared to lose a little money on this; nobody's
    going to pay as much for your used items as you did for them new...
