I'm all for setting your own prices. It's your item to sell. Afterall, if you price too high, who cares? The only person you're hurting is yourself since no one will pay for your item at that price. But, that's the point. Folks here (albeit, kinda harshly, but it's the internet. you've got to have thick skin) are trying to help you find a reasonable price to sell your item for. Pretty much no one will pay nearly full price for such a high wear item, that's not in the best of shape, when they can get a brand new part for just a little more money.

But, if you want to compare prices for used items out on the market, check out these two ads. Both ads are offering both the pressure plate and the clutch plate for only $169 + $21 shipping.

I haven't seen any pressure plates being sold by themselves, so not sure what they're going for, but would venture to say probably less than $100 to include shipping. Maybe even less, since in your first post you said :

So I would guess you're not trying to make a profit off it anyways. So why sell so high? You could probably offer it up for the cost of shipping and $20 for your troubles and someone MAY take it. I say may because first, someone would have to have a need for the part. You can price it at $0 and still have no buyers if no one needed it. And secondly, you have to incentivize it. There's no incentive to purchasing a wear and tear item, especially a pressure plate, if the savings aren't extraordinary.

Like I said, just trying to help. If you're really trying to get rid of it, you've got to be more realistic. But, in the end, it's your part. Price as you see fit.
