Am I charging too much to sell this? [Phone]

Note Mods: This is NOT a classifieds. I'm asking about a good offering price, I'm not selling anything here.


So, I've been trying to list this on my local classifieds for a while now and I keep getting just stupid offers or people trying to talk me down on it. I get that's just a normal plague of selling this way, but I was wondering if maybe I just value it too highly vs. what it is.

I've been listing it for $200, but I've gone as low as $150 without a serious bite. Specs here.

In terms of other stuff: it's the gold variant. The normal backplate (it has a folio style one and a normal plastic snap back) has a very slight blemish (3mm^2 at largest) on it. The phone itself is in fantastic condition and was never used without a tempered glass screen protector on it.

I've got the box with virtually all of the original accessories (except the headphones, because who wants second hand earbuds. They're nothing special anyway). + 3 cases of different styles and 5 tempered glass screen protectors.

If I'm charging too much.... what seems like a fair price? The thing has been collecting dust, but I'm reluctant to part with it for too little. I could use the money as my current phone has needed some repairs done and I've spent about $70ish on parts.....

It's a three year old used, blemished off brand phone. I wouldn't pay $150 for it if I needed a phone. Maybe $75 if I examined it first.

I get it's an older phone - but barring maybe the SoC, those specs are still extremely competitive for the price. 2K doesn't even start until $250 or $300.

I do get I asked for help, and I appreciate the input, but I'm just playing devil's advocate here. Is "used" really that much of a turn off vs. the other specs? I mean, 2K/64/3/3500 are still fantastic numbers today.

You can get used Galaxy S7 on EBAY for under $200.

Hmmm. That's disappointing, but I guess it's my fault letting it collect dust for so long. I guess using other classifieds to make that determination was probably not a good idea.

Oh well. If it's collecting dust I guess logically I could do $10 and I'd still be a winner for the relative usefulness.

It is an ancient (in phone terms) phone by a no-name brand; only a tiny percentage of the population would even consider buying one.

If you want a realistic idea of its value, get a valuation by CEX, then add 20-40% to what they offer.

To give you an idea,

Two weeks ago I bought a Fanatec CSR wheel and pedals from CEX, new the cost would have been in the region of £1000.

Similar age Logitec and Thrustmaster wheels cost £200 - £350 new and sell for £120-£200.

I paid £90.
