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.

I feel ya, man. Kind of like a bone stock M&P up for trade on a Glock + $200; get the fuck outta here with that.

No, that's actually a good deal. M&Ps are at least $200 better than Glocks.

You shut your mouth when you type to me, Kyle.

You can make an AK out of a shovel, so it's worth way more than a rake. That's why the rakes aren't worth as much.

Not this shovel. Not enough 922r parts can be added.

Ya don't need to add them. Just do what Century does. Make a few grind marks in it, stamp a "C" and call it a US part.

As to the trade value issue that is just a haggle thing. Call the guy out. And ya come to an agreement or ya don't. Getting butt hurt because someone would not move on their value is not good for your long term health.

If i cannot replace said item for what i am selling it for it either has a current (Store retail) value OR i don't sell it.

This I fully understand. I hear it all the time, sell me some ammo! OK, lets see what I have to pay to replace it.......

Of course this comes back to 75% of our work around here and that is policing the yahoos that just HAVE to save the world by pointing out that they can buy it cheaper somewhere else in the TP.
