How to Price Used Items: A Simple Formula
By Editorial Team5 min read
A three-step method to price anything you sell — from phones to furniture — using the new price, condition and age.
Three steps
Use this method for any item:
- 1. Find the current new price of the same model in your country
- 2. Apply a condition factor: like new, good or fair
- 3. Reduce for age — faster for phones and laptops, slower for furniture and appliances
Then check demand
Look at similar items for sale on our site. If many are listed below your price, adjust; if yours is rare or in excellent condition, you can ask a little more.
