Default How to price my Diplomat?

DSs are growing, and I just got two F85s from the diaper.com deal. How should I price my Diplomat for CL?

sales price / by the number of years left on the seat -

So example, Diplomat was $225 originally, man. in 2008
225/3=75, so price would be 150, less wear of 3 yrs, so another $75, so I would price it between $75 and $100 to start, maybe even $50 to $75. I'd also look on Craigslist to see what Roundabout 40s and other smallish seats are going for.

Thanks! I'm laughing a bit because CL is just catching on around here. There are VERY few car seats on our lists, compared to the coasts, and even fewer Britax!

But I priced it at $75 obo and we'll see what happens. I'd like to get $60, I guess.

Thanks again for the advice.

BTW, can't believe I totally missed your previous post and the answers, lol!

I'd scale it to an approximate current price. I'm assuming the Diplomat has a 6 year expiration, so a 2008 seat at $225, would have .5 of its lift left, so $112 is a starting point, IMO. And since it's an older seat, I'd go down from there. I think your $75 is pretty reasonable.
