A friend has been wanting to buy mine ever since I earned the Mandonline. I am getting better with the Mandoline and am thinking of selling her my USG.

How much should I sell it for? It looks brand new, I have probably used it maybe 10 times. I cannot even remember what they sold for originally. Does anyone know? I would appreciate your help.
 
I think they were $45 in the catalog...I would say between $20 and $30 depending on how much of a discount you want to give her...
 
I'm with Gillian. My husband buys a lot of after-market products (he hangs out at auctions a lot!), and his rule of thumb is that gently used is worth up to about 1/2 retail.
 
I hated that thing! An i have 2 of them. One has never been out of the box!!! I ordered one with hostess benefits and then earned one when I decided to become a consultant. I quit taking it to shows b/c I could never get it to work right. Now....the Mandoline? Different story! LOVE IT!
 
I still have mine too... it is in my office. I am scared to give it to someone I know because they might get hurt and blame me!!
