Look on Ebay for similar items in the completed auctions listings. That'll give you an idea of what price you can expect. One tip if you plan on selling on Ebay is to look at the items like yours in completed auctions that got the most bids/highest prices and almost copy what they did (descriptions & title). Try to understand why they got better prices than the others. Another tip is start your auction at a low price to draw more people's interest...the price will go up if the demand is there. Key is to get LOTS of people interested & bidding on your auction.

** I would use the low starting bid idea on items that I could see usually have lots of bidding action. Like say hard drives, notebook computers, ipods, a million and one things, but not specialty items where there's not as much "mass interest". On those I would set a higher minimum bid. My 2 cents.
