On line sales are always a gamble no matter where you list them. There are many factors that come into play for these sites. First off if anyone trying to make a purchase is serious, then they will look at MSRP to establish the NEW base price. Then it all depends on how old the items are and what condition they are in at the time of sale. Value depends on how badly the seller wants to get rid of the items. Garage sale value is always 10% of its original MSRP value ($600 new- $60). Anyone listing items for resale at anything higher than 80% of it s original value obviously does not really want to sell anything unless there is some level of rare collectability value involved. Plus there are site fees and shipping costs which someone has to absorb. So anywhere between 10% and 80% is your playing field. The rest is up to the two people making the deal.

Some people just think they are going to get all of their money back, in which case just walk away and let them keep the item. The only items where you can recover most if not all of your money is with things like the UE rare items like VBS, and such. Good luck with that.
