Levi 516 & Levi 501: How Much to Sell For?

I have some NEW Levi 516s and Levi 501 men's jeans. They are new without tags, but have never been worn. Just hanging in the wardrobe.

Sizes are: 516- W30, L32 & 501- W32, L32

How much should I start the bidding at? I've looked at other listings and the starting prices are very erratic!

The 516 are rare- they've been discontinued so to get a new pair is a coup.

Any ideas?

Ta!

    Look at completed listings to get an idea of what the end price was, not the listing price.

    http://completed.shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?rt=nc&LH_Complete=1&_nkw=levi%20516&_dmd=1&_dmpt=UK_Men_s_Jeans&_fln=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m283&_vc=1&_rdc=1

    I personally would go for the highest reasonable listing price you can on the basis it is a free listing day so you don't want to risk 'underselling'

    Start them at the minimum you want to sell them for, That way they wont sell for 99p

    I would start them at 99p for the free listing, I wouldn't normaly suggest that but Levi's are a good, sought after item and make decent money.

    If you start them at 99p though even today it counts against the 100 free listings a month and very often prices are reduced due to the markets being flooded.

    I certainly would not start today at 99p
