this is a very difficult question - worth of something is either what someone will pay or what use the buyer will receive from it..
my general rule is if i'm buying second hand i like atleast the price to be 80% of new..for very good condition/ as new - as you are still taking a risk not buying new - then a sliding scale after that..i reckon somehwere around 3/4 - 3/5 new price is reasonable.
keep in mind though some special items/brands like takahashi will hold their value above the norm..and you will need to adjust (ie pay more) for some second hand stuff
