is it worth buying for a used Nikon when the price for a new one is almost similar? there's a local online store TG which advertise 800e for $3754 and d4 for $6799 which i see some seller are selling their used set at similar price.

Some simply try their luck in finding ignorant buyers. If your budget is limited feel free to offer what you can pay, some will accept the fast cash over the highest price.is it worth buying for a used Nikon when the price for a new one is almost similar? there's a local online store TG which advertise 800e for $3754 and d4 for $6799 which i see some seller are selling their used set at similar price.
Yup, better buy overseas. It's usually cheaper than used here. Or just buy it new in town.Some sellers in the B&S section are living in a world of their own. Asking price of a pre-owned item which cost more than a new grey market set! As mentioned by Octarine, trying to trap gullible buyers. I have given up attempting to buy used items in the B&S. Ebay may be a better bet, but takes effort and patient to track down a good deal. Personally, for big ticket items, I prefer to buy overseas as I find local shops marked up too much on their prices.

Even if the box isn't opened, as soon as it's a private sale I wouldn't buy it if it isn't at least 50% off the free market price.so should there be some sort of guide line...say 20 to 30% off the current market price?

Case by case basis.. and don't listen to the 50% BS. that is lowballer talk.
The best thing is... those who say this, often don't sell their own equipment at >50% discount...
but I observe that the price quoted here most not even in the less 20 to 30% range. Saw someone posted to sell Nikon 300mm f4 and quoted $1200 and I believe that he owns it for more then a year....TG quoted brand new with GST as around 1.3k
but to be fair there are a great bargain too like the gentleman who bought the bilingham Hadley pro bag with shoulder pad for only $300...cost new its almost $500
