New/used holster pricing opinions

[sassnetguy50]

Seeking your experience when buying holsters that were purchased years ago but never used.  Example, a still in the package, from known commercial maker, for a known model pistol, that sat in a smoke free gun room for 10-20 years.  What percentage discount (from current retail) would you expect to pay for the holster you want? 

 

Trying to determine fair value from those who deal in realistic holster sales.

 

PSA: label your holsters or make a list of what the form fitted holsters go with in your estate.  It takes minutes to do and eliminates hassle for those left behind.

For starters, is/ are the holster/s still being made? Are they a specifically desirable holster? Are they from a large manufacturer, (Bianchi, Galco), or from a small, semi custom type shop, (Kirkpatrick, Mernickle)? 

If they are something still in production and readily available, I probably wouldn't charge much over the marked price. 

If they were something no longer available, again, how desirable is it? I'd bet something like a Big Ed Douglas San Pedro holster would be almost worth it's weight in gold.

All are commercial manufacturers Bianchi, Galco, S&W, Triple K, Hunter...  None of the new ones are collectable or big money, $90 tops.

Some are discontinued and some are currently offered.

I would say that the discontinued ones might be priced at a little more than priced as marked, the still available somewhat less than marked. 

Put them up on the Classified forum as you see fit with a "Or best offer" and see what interest you get.

Used leather gear doesn't bring anywhere near the original price.  As a private seller, if you get 50% of new price, you are doing well. 25% is probably more realistic.
