Looking back on the several Emeralds that I've sold, I'd tend to agree with the 75% estimate. However, given the vast array of possible options that may or may not attract a buyer, 75% is just an estimate. I'd suggest that the closer one's Emerald is to fairly stock, the easier it will be to sell and get the maximum price. I doubt that someone who bought their Emerald from the factory and included a fair number of options is going to realize 75% back on the used market, especially if they incurred one of those last minute ransom payments...
