Rule of thumb with Second Hand?

Good day all,

 

I am looking for some advice on what would be a good price on a second hand MTB. The bike is a Scott Scale Elite 2012 and have done plus minus 1000KM and well looked after.

My dilemma is it is a friends bike and would really like to give him a good deal in order for him to buy his next bike.

 

unfortunately the two of us are a bit clueless on how much these type of bikes should go for second hand? Basically if any one can give guidance on how the second hand market works and how do one evaluate a price on a bike. Like a rule of thumb.,..

Any upgrades- I.E. groupset, wheels etc...

Mileage / wear & tear?

This would affect the price.

 

Anywhere from 30-50% less than cost for a 2 year old bike in decent condition.

But that is just my opinion...
