Hi
Selling second hand gear is a specialist job if you want the best price. A good rule for gear in new condition under 12mths old is to expect no more than 1/2 price and hope for about 3/4 of the wholesale price. Unless it is a collectable.
If it is older than this take the your year old price and depreciate it at 20% every year to get a price. If this leaves the residue at $0 then put it on ebay with no reserve. You might get a surprise. Trevor sold my 20 year old Tasco 114 reflector for $120 on ebay. I gave it to him. He did not even offer to share!
I enter every major purchase (over $100) in a register with the price, serial no, date of purchase etc and depreciate at 10% per year. This gives a basic price to work with and anything you get more than this is a bonus. Don't be greedy!
