How to price what you're about to sell

Price is the decision that weighs most in a second-hand sale. Too high and nobody messages you; too low and you leave money on the table. The key isn't guessing — it's starting from the real resale value and picking a strategy based on how fast you want to sell.

Start from the real resale value

Before inventing a number, find out what's being paid today for something like yours, in your condition and brand. That realistic range is your starting point — not what you paid when it was new.

Pick a strategy: fast, recommended or max

If you need the cash now, a price at the bottom of the range sells in days. No rush? Aim for the max and wait for the right buyer. The 'recommended' price balances both.

Adjust for condition and accessories

Original box, accessories, receipt and pristine condition justify the top of the range. Faults, missing parts or wear, the bottom. Be honest in the listing: trust closes sales.

How do I price a used item?

Start from the real resale value (not the new price), pick a strategy based on your urgency, and adjust for condition and accessories. Reloot calculates the range from a photo.

Should I price high and drop later?

Only if you're not in a rush. A price at the bottom of the range sells in days; the max may take longer but leaves more margin. Reloot shows both with estimated days.
