Leather computer bag - how much?

[Willthisworknow]

Got a leather computer bag which is very nice from Chicago. Bought it for 235 dollars about 7 years ago. I now use a computer rucksack so I don't think I'll use this bag again. How much should I start the price at? Don't want to get peanuts for it.

The million dollar question!

It's so difficult to know what to list things at. You seem to have a better chance if you have a brand name so you could add that to your title (i.e. Mulberry style).

Some things I expected to sell well (Monsoon bridesmaid dress with tags and loads of photos went for £5 something). Other things I have no expectations for have done suprisingly well (set of tyres that had been sitting in the garage for 20 odd years with one crappy photo went for almost £400!!!). Both were listed at 99p start price.

I don't think you can put "xxx style'' in your title. This is keyword spamming and if its reported eBay can pull your listing. For the price you paid i would expect it be a brand though so make sure you put that in the title.
How about doing a completed listings search and seeing what similar items went for?

Use advanced search, tick the completed items box, and type in the title that would describe your bag. You can see what final price items sold for (if they sold at all). Sort by price including postage, find the average item, and go for a starting price that is about 2/3 of that final price for the average item (with "free" postage).
