If I was in the buying market, I would pay whatever the current market is for a 21 Rubicon similarly equipped (without AEV package) and pay 35 cents on the dollar for the AEV package.

It's really so very easy to get numbers either looking at what's on dealer lots, marketplace, craigslist or other places, I take the online buyers with a grain of salt after their insulting offers to me in the past and the fact that a dealer went above and beyond those (except Driveway and they were within about 500 of Driveway).
It's all over the internet - Jeeps for sale, with prices. So easy to find numbers.
If selling, start a tad high and go down if necessary.
If buying - it depends on your needs - is it immediate, do you REALLY REALLY want one?
It's such a personal thing and in the end, anything is worth what a buyer and seller agree it's worth.

I once bid $500 for an engine catalog from 1918, printed in color, great condition, because I owned two of those exact engines. Was it worth it? Not to anyone else, obviously. They all dropped out at about $300 and I got it for a bit over that. but I WANTED IT really badly. To me, it was worth it. (I bet the seller's jaw dropped)

His AEV package being one actually done by AEV does have premium in my eyes. One of the few aftermarket companies I would treat their stuff pretty much equivalent to OEM. I may even be a bit low on my estimate offer but that factors in needing a new set of quality 37" tires.

35-36 grand. Maybe 37.5 if you wash it. That would be my guess.

Or different color. Wonder if it would overheat with all of the blockage in front of the grill.

Its a unique Gladiator, Why not write up a good ad toss it on BAT with a dumb price and gamble, if that doesn't work play the fair market local game

Not one for towing for sure. It would run hot.
I don't get the showing like that wanting a value instead of clean so it can be seen

I’ve found that the online quotes you can get through KBB (usually they’ll get you 3 competing “buy it now” offers) are pretty spot on to what a dealer will offer. Saves you a trip. Plus you have a bargaining chip should something happen and you have to trade it in on short notice.

Dude, do you know how long I re-read that sentence trying to figure out what the hell "cowbelling" was before finally giving up and scrolling down? Only to read this?

There's 5 mins of my life I'll never get back.

I hear ya, I didn't catch it until after the fact....

KBB? They miss by thousands as far as their buy it now offers. Dealer trade offers are better. If you just ask KBB for the trade value they are pretty close but their buy offers are insulting

IDK when the last time you tried it was, but last year I went through the process and they were within $500 of each other, 3 online offers and two in town in person.

KBB was spot on the last three times I had to trade or sell.
