How much is my Nexstar 9.25 GPS and Gear worth?

Moving to Los Angeles has killed my astronomy life over the last few years. I have a beautiful, but large scope, a Celestron Nexstar 9.25 GPS. I'm hoping that getting something smaller will help me get out more often. I've spent more than $3000 on the equipment, but haven't decided on what I should ask when I resell. Any suggestions? More photos at the link below. Thank you so much!!

Maybe as much as 1200 or so. The case is a big plus, but the rest of the gear, the eyepieces, for example, is not going to command much $$$. There's also the fact that your GPS is an "older scope" now...and that it is a buyer's market at the moment.

I would have no problem paying around $1200 if it were local in my area.

Thanks so much guys! It's so hard to decide whether or not to get rid of it. I'm thinking about sending it up to my parents house in the Tehachapi mountains and just getting another scope for home. I wonder what my wife would think about that.
