What do you see as a fair price for an i5 2500, z67 mobo, and 8GB Ram combo?

As the title says. My friend is upgrading and therefore selling some of his old parts. He has an Intel i5 2500, a z67 mobo (not sure on the manufacturer), and 8GB of G.Skill DDR3 ram. He offered to sell it all for $180 CAD, but I feel like that is a little steep for hardware so old. I was thinking more around the $150 CAD mark. Just looking for opinions.

I would say go high and if you can‘t sell it at that price drop 20$. If I were him I would say 200$ and go down every 10 days.

Out of interest what is he upgrading to?

Yeah, I think around $150 is a good price. This is assuming that it's a decent motherboard and decent RAM.

Funny, I recently (last Monday) sold a similar setup on eBay. An ASUS P8Z68 Board with a core i5 2300 and 8GB of generic 1600MHz DDR3 RAM for £125 + £15 shipping. (Best offer accepted)

He is upgrading to an i7 7700K. Also guess I should have mentioned, I am the one looking to buy it. My girlfriends sister is wanting a pc to play games like Overwatch and he is selling so I figured as long as the price is reasonable it will be a better deal than buying new.

Damn, according to google with the conversion rate that is like $220 CAD. Guess $180 is a pretty solid deal.

used 7700k? Otherwise no point for that CPU.

It definitely is. I personally would try to go for a higher price, if the listing gets a lot of views, but doesn't sell, he can always lower the price.

Nah he is buying it new. He already ordered the parts so there is no going back for him. he is convinced that the 2500 is holding back his GTX 970. I tried telling him otherwise but I think he also just wanted to upgrade for the sake of upgrading.

Well, 2500 could have held back his 970, but the 7700k is a dead end and new chips still cost over $300 a piece. 8th gen i5s could have been the better choice...
