A used Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS is worth about €164 right now, based on 2 recent sales and 18 listings. 18 units for sale, asking €117 to €169. The estimate has fallen 2% over the last four weeks. Used ones sell for about €164 at camera shops lately. Selling privately, ask near that; a shop or a trade-in pays less, as it resells.

The estimate blends recent sales with the median asking price. Each sale counts less the older it is, and the more recent sales there are, the more they carry: with none it is the asking price, with 5 recent ones half and half. So it moves gradually, never in a jump. Figures resting on fewer than that are marked low confidence. In an asking median no shop counts for more than a third (or an equal share, with fewer shops), so one shop’s price list does not decide it. Parts-only and brand-new units are left out. (2 here)
