No, I can’t. Sometimes when a new part is €0,02 I price a used part €0,01 so 50% less, quite much in percentage but not much in total. A larger or more sought after part can be €0,25 when new and used €0,15 so 40% less and it varies all the time. The only importance to me is what parts costs in other stores, so it is never a certain percentage but always a comparison.

Used being used though, they can carry a lower price than new parts of the exact same variety (masonry bricks seem to be an exception but those were on many store PaB walls not too long ago). That being said, does anyone happen to have a good estimate for how much less on average as a percent used are from new?
