I see a lot of ads across the ole interweb offering guns for sale that have a cash asking price and then "trade value" that is sometimes 20% more than the cash value.
I don't understand why there are two values associated with a single item.
We all know that if you trade cars at a dealership and they offer you $100 for you car, they've jacked the purchase price $75.
Why not just establish value and be done instead of playing what can appear to be shady games?
What am I missing?
On a local Face Book Gun for Trade or Sell Group, This seems to be the norm. XZY Pistol $600.00 cash, Trade Value $700.00. Seems dumb to me as well. I would simply ask list as FS or Trade $700. Then when someone starts offering cash I'd say $650.00 and then if that didn't work $600.00.
