High End projector/movie theater

[jer446]

An uncle gave me this projector from his theater room. At first, it didnt have all of the accessories, but i gathered them all. Now that i am setting it all up, i realise it is a little hard for me to set this thing up, so i am looking to sell it.
This is an extremely high end projector, just a little older, but it is still better than any other projector you could buy for the price.
It is a runco vx-1c projector, with all included accessories and controller. I am not sure how much i can get for it, but it was originally $17,000, about three years ago.

So, really hate you break your bubble but I don't think you'll be getting very much for the one you have. A new projector can be found with double the ANSI and double lamp life for just under 2 grand without taxes. Not to mention getting a replacement bulb for a discontinued projector can sometimes be rather hard... Now in all fairness your projector does have a higher max resolution; but the same native resolution.

They have sold for over 3 grand on ebay, so i dont know how fair it is to compare those specs.
