Not guilty in the sense I "turned my back" on the beloved bike part, but in the sense of "was that a rip on the buyer?"

Part in question is a front wheel: Mavic CXP22 laced to a Shimano 2200 hub. Paid $80 when new at an LBS, been on the hybrid for about ~1,500mi, not abused or damaged, still borderline-perfectly true, braking surface is still good, and it spent it's last months on the trainer supporting a portion of my 140lbs because it's a front wheel. Sold it for $35 but the buyer didn't have exact change and gave me 40.

Guess this is a desperate attempt to reassure that I set a fair price. Not to make excuses, but my set price was considering the "Bay Area" market, and from my experience it's been a solid wheel to live up to the price. Fair?

Fair. You're fine. Drink some warm milk, take a nap and you'll be all right. You didn't rip anyone off.

I'm a horrible person.

Remind me never to ever ever ever deal with you.

Thanks errbody. I rarely sell things in general, and always been on the buying end or just giving things (my kiddie bikes and smaller, older parts) away. Totally unsure if I was approaching/thinking correctly at this end.

If you don't lie or mislead someone about the item... whatever they pay for it is by definition the fair value to them. And they (the buyer) are the only ones who can determine the fair price. This is true for any transaction. Basic economics is a fascinating subject!
