It is not only about "what it is worth", but rather, what is the
replacement cost, to get one in the same or better condition, if it is
lost or damaged.

FWIW, I've done one prop rental in my life, and it was to a major
production outfit. They paid shockingly well for a few boxes full of
vintage motorcycle parts. And we had a loss agreement twice their value..
Unless this is a low-budget or student project, you may well be able to
rent them the equipment for more than you could sell it for. And most of
the time, rentals are by the day.. So if they need it for a week, tell them
$25. That would net you around $175 for a week, more than an original 5150
is worth.
Please listen to what's already been said, there is much good advice being
given. But if you can satisfy your mind as to dealing with them, then take
the profit, human. ;-)
