Re-sell Value Of A Yamaha Pdp-400

I am a keyboard player, but I use Hammond and Alesis....not very familiar at all with Yamaha models. A friend's family has a PDP-400 that was used by their late father up until about 2005 in a jazz band. It's in good condition and they'd like to sell it now, but don't know it's value. We have not been able to find one on E-Bay, Craig's List, etc. Could you/would you be able to give us some guidance on what would be the fair market price for this digital piano. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!
