OK everyone, here is a PRIME example of why some sellers say "Trade value
HIGHER".
Some sellers raise their price "
HIGHER" than they want, thinking that the buyer will try to talk them down, and then they get the price they REALLY wanted!
Here's an example:
I list a decent 1967 Mustang fastback realistically priced at $15,000. A seller on RJ has listed a nice 1964 Falcon that might be worth around $10,000, but he raised his price
HIGHER to $15,000 thinking that someone will try to talk him down. He see's my ad for $15,000 and right away he's emailing wanting to do an even trade.
This happens all of the time!
