How to determine what is a fair selling price for used electronics?

I will be listing my first electronics item for sale on eBay and probably Facebook Marketplace.  I know the two basic ideas, which are to see the price of both current listings and sold items, then try to price somewhere between (or at the sold price for a quick sale).  Are there any other ways to try to get an idea of what to list it for that will actually see it maybe move but also get the most possible?  Thanks!  (The item is an Acer Switch Alpha 12 Windows tablet with an i5-6200u and 512gb of storage).

In my experience, if soething is well listed but not selling on eBay, the price is too high and I'll chip a few bucks off every week until someone takes it.

Well ebay gives you a good idea how much something is worth. But this kind of answer would be too banal.

 

For me, I first take the lowest MSRP of a product found on the web.

Then I deduct 30% because it is used.

Then I calculate the lifespan of that product.

Then I figure out the remaining lifespan.

 

So the equation would be

used price=lowest MSRP*70%*(remaining lifespan/total lifespan)
