How do you figure out...

How much to sell a seat for? I don't plan on selling on here so I hope it's ok to ask. I have 2 radians...1 is about 1.5yrs old the other I need to check but under a year I'm almost sure. They are both XTSL. How do I figure out how much to ask if selling locally, so shipping isn't a factor? I think I've seen some "formula" using how much time is left and retail and condition? But can't remember what it was

I did the cost of the seat (retail before discounts/sales, and including shipping) divided by number of years it lasts, - the number of years it was used.

I think I even went further and figured out what the seat cost per month, and then subtracted the number of months I used it...

Ok so using that if I listed on Craigslist the newer Radian (after I check the DOM, but assuming it's right at a year old) for $250 is fair? The cover is in perfect condition

The other one being older asking $225? It's about 1.5yrs old, though the cover is in a bit more used condition, still really good but doesn't look new anymore so maybe I should take off a bit for that?

I do this too, except I use the current price not retail. So if it's on sale for 20% off then I go off of the 20% off price then divide years to months and subtract to get a price range. Some times you can get a little more and sometimes a little less depending on situation.
