Unfortunately, it's probably not worth much. It's still an incredible audiophile device but battery life and user interface are horrific. Tiny screen makes the experience slightly worse. My Pearl Jam one is on display on my stereo cabinet. I'd be happy to add yours to my display for $100.
I appreciate the offer. I've seen prices all over the place. This is the only Neil Young edition, Pono Player for sale I could find. Big Bucks...I'll take less but maybe the fact it is N.Y. edition might bring a little more than others?

Always worth a shot. Probably a Neil fan will be most interested.

I had to throw my two black ones away because the rubberized plastic basically melted.... In the house. Melted is not the right word but something like that.

YIKES ! I will take out of the boxes before shipping to make sure all is good. Luckily we live in 24/7 A/C, no smoking, and I kept in a dark cool place.

I doubt yours has the problem. My aluminum one has held up fine. It's just a black and yellow rubberized ones that seemed to suffer this fate.
Seems all things that have that soft touch rubber feel on it disintegrates over time. I refuse to buy anything anymore with that finish on it. It's like the oil breaks down and it "melts" and leaves a horrible sticky goo. I ended up scraping away (with a razorblades) the goo. Still listen to my Pono on my stereo and always surprised by how good it sounds, still in comparison.
