I think there may be several reasons why such a list isn't published. It may be partly because Shindo equipment is hand-made to order in very small numbers; the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Japanese yen fluctuates; and Shindo-san's (and now his son's) occasional practice of employing different tubes and circuitry in his preamp and amp designs.
As I mentioned in my previous email, when I've called the West Coast authorized dealer, Pitch Perfect Audio's Matt Rotunda, he's provided pricing info and the occasional opportunity to acquire Shindo gear via his "trade up" program. A great advantage of going through an authorized dealer is the warranty and technical support/repair they are able to provide. As to prices on used and "gray market" Shindo gear, I kind of recall Audigon has a database that provides info on previous sales of all types of audio equipment (certain Shindo models included) and if you do a search on Hi Fi Shark for current and previous sales offerings of Shindo gear, you can figure out the price range of specific preamps, amps and speakers.
Best wishes on your quest and Happy Listening.
