Need advice on pricing lens

Hi all. It's been awhile since I've posted. My photography journey has really been put on the back burner the last year or so. I find I mainly use my 30mm and 45mm lens when I do shoot.

I want to sell both my S lens and was wondering if you all could give me advice on how to price them.

I have the boxes and they are both in excellent condition. I really didn't use them much at all.

Is anyone even interested in buying these now that the camera is discontinued?

Thanks for your advice!

Just check the current prices on Ebay, and do an estimation on your own.

The used market is still going strong and you could probably gain a lot of coin!

Here in Europe, the S lenses are quite expensive (still) but in general, U.S prices are a bit lesser.

I do not know how much you bought them and the condition they are, but you could easily get 70-75% of that money back, and that is a great percentage for any used equipment, especially for a discontinued one.

Thank you Kisaha. I didn't see many on eBay, but I'll try to search what they have previously sold for. Thanks for your input.

You could always put them up on Ebay for bidding, with a reserve price and see what they sell for.

You want to check out "completed listings" on Ebay.

Use BokehMarket.com, it's a price guide for camera gear.

Here's the 16-50S lens:
