AvoK95 wroteIt doesn't matter how much you've used it. It's the fact that it's not from a retailer, it's unboxed, and that it has been used (Even if it's been used 1 time, that still counts as used)
Also, I'd sell that Acer tablet for 200-250$ aswell. Try posting them on

When it's not being sold by a retailer, doubt automatically creeps up on the buyer. Even if it is boxed, you start suspecting that it might have been dropped or opened then resealed etc... If it is already open, you start suspecting that maybe it has a defect and you just want to get rid of it. If the price is low, people will suspect it is defective. If the price is high, people will think that you are either crazy, or trying to throw off suspicion from a defective product.
Search Wikipedia for "Market for lemons".
Here is main idea from
the wiki article:
Akerlof's paper uses the market for used cars as an example of the problem of quality uncertainty. A used car is one in which ownership is transferred from one person to another, after a period of use by its first owner and its inevitable wear and tear. There are good used cars ("cherries") and defective used cars ("lemons"), normally as a consequence of several not-always-traceable variables such as the owner's driving style, quality and frequency of maintenance and accident history. Because many important mechanical parts and other elements are hidden from view and not easily accessible for inspection, the buyer of a car does not know beforehand whether it is a cherry or a lemon. So the buyer's best guess for a given car is that the car is of average quality; accordingly, he/she will be willing to pay for it only the price of a car of known average quality. This means that the owner of a carefully maintained, never-abused, good used car will be unable to get a high enough price to make selling that car worthwhile.
Therefore, owners of good cars will not place their cars on the used car market. The withdrawal of good cars reduces the average quality of cars on the market, causing buyers to revise downward their expectations for any given car. This, in turn, motivates the owners of moderately good cars not to sell, and so on. The result is that a market in which there is asymmetric information with respect to quality shows characteristics similar to those described by Gresham's Law: the bad drives out the good (although Gresham's Law applies to a different situation).
