I am trying to sell the following items: 4 transparent Selene chairs, original value $225each I am asking $500 for the all set of 4, you can read a more detail description of the product below.
Vico Magistretti's Selene Chair is a timeless classic. The Selene Chair was designed by Vico Magistretti in 1969. This chair is the perfect blend between function and style. Originally produced by Artemide, the New Selene chair has been re-issued by Heller in a high gloss nylon polymer (colored versions) and transparent polycarbonate. The New Selene Chair is stackable up to six chairs high which allows for easy storage. It can be used both indoors and outdoors. Included in the MoMA permanent design collection, the Vitra Museum, and leading museums around the world.
or if anybody has any suggestion what would be the best and fastest way to sell them please tell me.
Best and fastest way
Geo:
Fastest would be to lower the price a lot and put them up on Craigslist.
Best price would probably come from Ebay, although you'll probably have to lower the price a little there, too, since you'll be competing against items like this $350 set of four original Artemide chairs:

The big problem you're going to have is that anyone who'll pay $500 plus shipping for four plastic stacking chairs can probably pay the $900 retail price almost as easily... Especially since buying retail will give him brand-new chairs with a warranty, in his choice of colors, from a dealer who offers a money-back return policy and free shipping.
You can't offer any of that, so all you can do is drop your price so low that it'll appeal to people who would NEVER spend $900 on a set of stacking chairs.
Good luck...

Wrong place

The realities second hand items.
When an item is rare (a limited supply with a few made and even less on the secondary market) the price for this preiously enjoyed item may be close or even exceed the original cost (an example would be the Philippe Starck 100% Make up vase for Alessi). "Run of the mill" items (your chairs)) produced in mass quantities are subject to the supply and demand equation. I would expect an item like this to command no more than 0.25 to 0.30 cents on the retail dollar. A cleaver shopper may be able to pay 0.40 to 0.50 cents on the retail dollar for floor samples.
