How much for used Canon DC100 dvd camcorder

BLUEBIE

We have a sales board at my work and I want to sell the above, I have no idea what is a fair price to ask for it though, as these things are a bit over my head. Amazon has 2 used from £120 and Ebay have some from about £70 - 90. Its boxed with carry caes and spare battery.

Any one got any ideas as I have been told I always sell things too cheap and don't want to rip myself off?!

Thanks and sorry if this sort of question isn't allowed?

Amazon is difficult as you can't tell what prices were actually achieved. However on ebay you can check completed listings, so check actual sale prices and maybe reduce by about 15-20% for fees and costs that you wont incur by selling direct.

I've probably got completely the wrong hting, but there is one here that sold at £44

and another on ehere at £29.99 but no bag

None of the others have really sold so the higher prices might be speculative

Thanks for that, not very good at this selling,lark, and have never used ebay, so didn't know you could see actual selling prices, will have another look.

Thanks again

eBay is a good guide for prices 'in the field'. It's used quite extensively to price things up elsewhere. Even the local church fete now uses online marketplaces to give them a guide to rare/antique items rather than just sticking them on a white elephant stall for 50p. This year there were a selection of old books (some Folio Society, some genuinely antique) for £10 a pop and I know people were told by the stallholder that she wasn't going to knock them down at the end of the day; that if they didn't sell she'd just put them on Amazon or eBay and collect the money for the fundraising that way. There was also a brand new Dalek pop-up model 'book' on the toy-stall - where things regularly sell for 20p a pop - for which the RRP was £12.99 and the person behind the stall said she had seen them on eBay for not much less - so the going rate was £5.

You don't often get those prices at that fete, but because it was all for the church roof fund, though, I think they were right to price a bit higher for good stuff.

Good luck - I hope you get a good deal .
