    Second hand value of Lie-Nielsen planes

    I'm thinking of selling a couple of my L-N planes and I was wondering what sort of second hand value they have, as a rough proportion of the retail price. Has anyone seen any sold on ebay and what sort of price do they go for? Thanks for any help. Keith
