etiquette for re-selling something you got at a great price
What should be the etiquette here? Purchased something used at a killer deal, then I didn't need it anymore. Feel obligated to sell at similar price or try to get the max and profit if you feel it's worth more?

what is it if you dont mind me asking.. is it something that would hold its value over time. rare? or something that someone would need?
if you got it at a "killer deal" and know its worth more than what you paid. then its worth a try.

OK - thanks guys, wasn't feeling to bad about myself
Today it's a warm 30+ out. A lot better than the -40 is was last week.
As for the items,
Upper control arms - purchased for $60(shipped) - sold for $100(plus shipping) - Price new was around $300
Lower rears - purchased the set for $35(shipped) - sold for $85(plus shipping) - Price new was $300
APR ECU with two programs - purchased for $380 sold on ebay for $550 - guy actually called me out on this one when he saw I resold it, only needed it to test out my current tune as a comparison.
APR TIP, guy said free if anyone wants to pay shipping $15 - put it right on ebay since I already had one and sold for $120
I have also done the "pay it forward" thing by giving another member my clear corner blinkers after I upgraded to one-pc lights. I've offered other stuff for free, but no one wanted the stuff.

Last summer I bought a Tippman 98 paintball gun. It had a sniper barrel, full auto, electric hopper, and some other goodies. I ended up selling it for 125 bux and I only payed 30 at a garage sale. I talked the kid into throwing in something extra for the extra 5 bux too haha I am cruel. Then I got a set of rims off a local traded a $120 used amp and 100 in cash sold the rims for 330 he knew it the whole time too and was like dude sell them haha. I say get all you can for stuff but be open to bargaining if they feel they should get a better deal. That way both of you don't feel ripped off.
