Eve Online is a very clear and strong confirmation that trying to establish a set price for any given item in the secondary market is never going to happen primarily because of the laws of supply and demand. The prices will forever adjust according to these simple -- yet powerful -- laws.

Stick to isk items for now please.
I have several hundred ADV and PRO suits that I wont use but someone can.
Officer weapons from races I wont use, etc.
I used 100k as example cause most expensive variant is 77k. 500k per unit is what we want to keep from happening.
Actually, 500k ISK per unit is exactly what I expect to see happen. The thing here is that you cannot expect players to honor an agreement to not stiff the buyers of their ISK. Just like the Confessor in Eve Online, the price of an item that is introduced into the market will be very high because of high demand, buyers who are impatient and ignorant, and limited supply. But once buyers get smarter, players becoming able to supply more for the market, and as general interest of an item lowers, the price will settle down.
There is also competition to account for. If I sell something for 500k ISK, someone else will post a sell order for 499k ISK and then some third person will post a sell order for 498k ISK. It's a never ending cycle.

Especially given the fact that they are the only light weapons that can fit into a sidearm slot. But these items are not something you can buy in the primary market. You'll only find them in the Daily Missions if you're lucky and maybe the strongboxes if you're lucky enough to open one with these weapons in them.
There are also prefitted 'Black Eagle' Scout suits that people hoarded that were only available as gifts from CCP.
But let's also not forget the ULTRA-RARE items that will likely be collectors items.
Items like:
- 'Kindred' and 'Solstice' scout suits if CCP ever gets around to correcting the bug that negatively affected their original colors.
- The yellow-bottle BPOs which are never going to be sold again in any primary NPC market.
- The Creodron Methana LAVs which were only made available via the PlayStation Home game in the Event Horizon Lounge. According to Kotaku.com, PSHome will be permanently shut down on March of this year.
- There are also the 'Skinweave' BPOs which were only given as gifts by CCP during closed beta.

Another thing to account for are regional markets. The price of an item in the Heimatar region will be different from any other region such the Domain region. This will be especially true if players in Dust are ever given control of where to go in the future.
