I always end up low-balling myself lol.

  • price sufficiently lower compared to new
  • price higher to negotiate down from to actual price point

Like the other comment said, think of the actual price you want to sell, then add a bit more. So when people haggle, you can bring it back down to the price you actually want. If I want to sell an item for $50, I post it as $60-$65.

I kinda want to add $100 to my "purchase price", 1/2 it, and add like $25 to haggle down from

That's some weird math that may not scale correctly.

Use a percentage, like 15% higher or 25% higher. That will scale better with cheap or expensive items.
