I have been asked many times how to price yelpers.  My advice always has been, price them so that you don't feel like you are cheating yourself and that you feel you are not cheating the person you are selling to.  That's it.

 In todays market, put a price on them and if they don't sell, you can always lower your asking price. Or, you can offer them up for trade. I suggest eBay if you are only looking to sell them. The more eyes on something, the better.

It can be tough for sure.  I always try to at least break even on my investment.  If you can make more great but that tends to be selective.  It hurts but I have had to sell below my initial purchase prices.  Ebay might be best for you.  Put a reserve or buy it now on them at what would make you happy.--jason
