Price too high and nothing sells; too low and you leave money on the table. A little research helps.

Pricing

  • Look at sold listings, not asking prices
  • Used items often sell for a fraction of the new price, depending on condition and demand
  • Leave a little room to negotiate
  • Lower the price after a week if there's no interest

Listing

  • Clean it first
  • Clear photos in daylight, from several angles, including any flaws
  • Brand, model, size, age and condition in the description
  • Be honest about flaws; it avoids returns and disputes
