Setting the right price

Tips for pricing your items to sell.

Setting the right price helps your items sell faster while maximising your return.

Research similar listings

  • Search for the same or similar items on Yellow Jersey
  • Note asking prices and what has sold
  • Check completed sales if available
  • Consider the condition difference

Factors affecting price

Condition

  • New/unused commands the highest price
  • Like new (minimal use) is close to retail
  • Good condition typically 50–70% of new
  • Fair condition may be 30–50% of new

Age and model year

  • Newer items hold value better
  • Some vintage items can be collectible
  • Older tech may depreciate faster

Brand premium

  • Premium brands (Shimano Dura-Ace, SRAM Red) hold value
  • Popular brands sell faster
  • Niche brands may take longer but find their buyer

Pricing strategies

Price to sell fast

  • Set 10–15% below similar listings
  • Good for items you need to move quickly

Price for maximum return

  • Price at or slightly above comparable items
  • Be prepared to wait longer
  • Accept offers to negotiate

Accept offers

  • Buyers can make an offer on any pre-loved listing
  • There's no minimum offer, so decide what you'd accept before offers come in
  • Counter offers can help find the right price

Yellow Jersey fees

  • Selling fee: 5% of the item price, taken when it sells
  • Payment processing: Handled by Stripe
  • Listing is free
