i have a used setting i want to sell and someone is interested in it.  i need to name a price so i wanted some opinions on what is fair, as i really have no clue at all.

its a 1 year old platinum setting by Vatche.  I was thinking something like 65% of what I payed.  is this reasonable?  or far off?  should i ask for 25% or 75%?

thanks!

I think 1/2 is reasonable, but that's purely a gut reaction. If I were buying a used setting--even if only a year old--1/2 would seem like a good enough deal to offset the used factor. Others may feel differently.

Which style is it & what is the current condition/state?  These may factor into your decision.

its an x-prong (so its a popular style) and its in quite good condition (i would probably get it polished also).

Whatever you do - do not polish out the vatche mark.  It may walk like a duck, talk like a duck - but without that signature isn't a duck (to the general public).

Also, what size head?  Is it a popular size head?  Is it a popular finger size?

All factors into the equation.  But, like Hest - I can only go for my gut.  If the questions above are answered yes - then I would say 50-65%.   Don't think most people will bite at 75%.  And, make that number based on the lower price (though it's pretty price fixed) you find & not solely on retail. 

Best of luck.  With things like this - it takes two.  Person selling/Person looking.
