What is an appropriate discount off the current new price (the price you actually pay from an authorized dealer, not the "suggested retail price") to offer for a watch that is around 90% cosmetically, but has no box or papers, the current owner is not the orignal owner (and doesn't know who was); the current owner has not serviced the watch (and doesn't know if it ever has been), and does not know in what year the watch was originally purchased (it's between 3 and 8 years old). The strap is leather, used, and appears to be the original one. Assume that the watch isn't high-end enough to warrant any suspicion of fakery or frankenry but no explicit guarantees are being made in this regard, either, because the current owner is not an expert. Looks fine in the photos, though.
I was thinking 60% off (which would be between 35% and 50% of the new price of the actual watch, depending on when it was bought). Is that lowballing? Is it not low enough? Thoughts?
