Is there a rule of thumb for pricing used furniture?

So the furniture is almost 2 years old now. It's all Ikea stuff, still in Good/Great shape.
The usual bedroom stuff: Bed, nightstand, shelf, drawers, table, and lights

does 1/3 original price sound right?

I don't think that anything depreciates more than furniture. You almost have to give it away (unless it's antique).

I was finally able to give my furniture away, I don't think it's worth the hassle to sell. But 25% of original cost is a good estimate.

Yeah, 1/3 should be about right.

But, furniture is very hard to sell. People don't know what you've been doing on it.

If it's in good/decent shape, that sounds fair to me. I don't have much experience in buying/selling used furniture, though.
