Kinda looks like you just did ask!
Generally, you can ask half of what new is going for. But, if it's a more rare part, you will use the "what the market will bear" method of pricing, which can get nuts depending on what it is.
So, simple answer to your question, it depends! Look on flebay for comparable parts if you're unsure, you'd hate to give something away if it had real value.

Good luck with your sale. Personally, I'm at a loss to find the classified section on this forum. I'm a busy guy but I spent the time to be helpful with a few posts to qualify to access the classifieds and now I can't find it. Why the mystery? Why is there not a button that says something like, "Classifieds" that I can click on and list an item or two. It isn't that I need to peddle some crap, but more like I've stumbled across a single vintage component that one of you may consider quite valuable. If I can't get it into the right hands (in a selfless act of responsibility to the sport) then I'll cut it up so that it serves my purpose. I have a small pro shop and have a non-Camaro customer who could use it. Give me some directions please!
