If you look on craigslist you can get a pretty good idea of what used Homie mirage kayaks sell for. Finding used Hobies is very rare as most people tend to hang onto them, especially the popularmodels like the revolution and outback. Hobies as long as the hulls are sound and don't leak tend to hold their value very well. We have owned around 8-10 of them over the years. They keep going up in price for new ones, so it ends up you can buy one keep it several years then sell it for near what you bought it for.
For example our 2008 Oasis we bought for I think $2400, then traded for a new 2010 TI, I think we got around $1800. The TI at that time was $4000, a new one now is $6500. Our 2012 TI we bought for around $4800, and recently sold for $3000, I have seen other 2012 TI's listed for between $3500 and $4500 recently.
All of our Hobies we ever sold went within 1-2 weeks from when we listed them.
Usually the model type is written on the side, if you can't identify the exact model, post pics of it and others on here will give you good advise on how much it's worth, ( as long as it doesn't leak, the hulls if they leak typically can't be repaired). The Mirage drives pretty much last forever, and canbe repaired typically regardless of condition, and older V1 drives can be upgraded to V2. A new mirage drive is around $700 bucks, and used typically don't go below $400, (even very old <10 yrs old).
Hope this helps
