Something I find puzzling - not a rant.

Something I find puzzling...

For this illustration I will be using yard tools(which in this case are hard to find items) instead of gun related items so I don't hurt anyone's feelers...

Example FS/FT ad -

Up for sale/trade is a like new shovel(prepanic price $25). In good condition, slightly used, see pictures.



Per trade post rules I place value of $50 cash, $65 trade...

No problem so far, I agree with the supply and demand adjusting the new value, But this is what gets me...

trades:
2 rakes(prepanic price of $15) plus cash
1 post hole digger(pre panic price $40) plus cash
etc etc etc


I guess what gets me is why the hell is your item worth 2 times the original value when my trade item is still worth the same value. Even though they are equally hard to find.


PS I know this is poorly written and probably hard to understand, but its late.
