Mark,
Just my two cents worth, but I wouldn't think a discount of 75% is
reasonable.  But, 50% might be for someone who is liquidating an asset
they themselves don't particularly have an interest in.  It really
depends on the market.  I'd spend a few hundred bucks advertising in
aviation journals or online and see what offers it flushes out.  I'd
probably mention the 23k from factory price and then state the price is
negotiable from there.  

The problem you are going to have is shipping the darn thing.  There is
so much to be said for Lancair's shipping design.....in a word it's
excellent.  You will need to be very careful how you ship, because
damage could be very easily done during shipping if you don't package it
correctly.

Good luck.  I think selling an uncrated and slightly worked on kit would
be one of the hardest things to sell.  You may even think about some
ridiculously low price and leave the shipping up to the buyer unless you
need to get a certain amount of money out of it.
