I would say minimum of 60% of the original price. Typical resale is 30-50% off of the original price.

I was getting lowballed selling brand new parts not too long ago. You'll be lucky if you get 50% out of your used kit, even if it's still in like new condition.

Good luck with sale, regardless.

Well 60% isnt to much but you also have to remember the buyer takes a risk on what they are buying being in the condition it was explained, it already has wear on it and if it breaks there is no refund on used items.

So thats why people are gonna try and pay as little as possible, its great to get something in great shape for 50% of the new price but it blows to pay 50% of new price on something that is now a paper wait and you either have to spend another 50% and take that chance again or spend 100% and buy new meaning you paid 150% when you could have bought it new to begin with and saved yourself 50%.

The buyer is helping out the seller just as much as it is the other way around.

I think the best thing you can do is take as many high quality pics as possible, post dyno sheets, results, etc etc to make buyers feel more comfortable spending the additional money.

Doing this, would make it more attractive to the buyer. I would see if you can see any sellers that sold the kit and pm them asking how much they sold them for.
