Checklist: valuing gear before listing it for sale

Before publishing a listing:

  1. identify the model, variant, year and specifications;
  2. document condition, faults, repairs and modifications;
  3. list included accessories and original parts;
  4. collect comparables that are genuinely similar and preferably recent;
  5. separate outliers and observe where the market clusters;
  6. adjust the range for condition, completeness and demand;
  7. choose your objective: quick sale, central market price or waiting for the upper range;
  8. account for costs and negotiation room.

At the end you should be able to explain in a few lines why you chose that price. If you cannot, the valuation probably still needs more evidence.
