What Percent of the Original Price Should You Sell Something? Tips for Pricing Used Items

Pricing is such a headache, right? I usually start by looking at what similar items are selling for on platforms like eBay or OfferUp.

For lightly used stuff, I’d say 50-70% of the original price is fair. If it’s in perfect condition, maybe even 80%. But if it’s seen better days, 30% is probably the max.

Brand and demand are definitely factors. Like, I sold a used Dyson vacuum for 65% of the retail price because it’s a trusted brand.

One thing I’ve learned: don’t be afraid to adjust your price if it’s not selling. Sometimes it’s just about finding the right buyer.
