Whether or not the original asking price was fair or not, or if it that price can be used a basis for negotiation for another like item is not my concern. I offer items for sale based on what I think they are worth and I only buy items in the same manner.
You just stated almost everything John and I have already said. Fair market is only what a buyer is willing to pay. If you are willing to pay $250 for a stripped run of the mill lower because that is what they are "selling" for, go right ahead. If you are going to sell items in the same manner no one is stopping you. It still comes down to you doing your own research before buying and selling. Just stating my opinion on the subject.
