What is considered a "standard" percentage of devaluation per year foor high end speakers?

As the title of the thread indicates, what is a standard devaluation per year of high end speakers in generally  good condition. 

Often, on Audiogon, sellers ask for 50-to 65% of the retail price for speakers that are between 7-10 years old (or even discontinued) regardless, whether they paid retail or not. 

I realize that condition and the number of owners is a determining factor, and it should be. 

Thank you,  S.J.

At least 50%  on most speakers if sold on Audiogon
Dealer lucky to get 40% .  Wilson a, B&W and a few other hold value well or if Hot with several great reviews . Rule of thumb sell if possible a few weeks after a nice review ,and link to the ad.
I have sold nodded speakers night and day better then stock 
But most Audiophiles know little about Xover builds ,just parts name  you get little extra back for your efforts.
