Why is this such a hard concept to grasp???

An item is worth as much as a seller is willing to sell for and a
buyer is willing to buy for.

A 486 can be worth $500 if a seller won't sell for less. An AMD 2000+
XP CPU isn't worth 25 cents if nobody is willing to pay that much for
it.

When selling, ask for the amount that would make you happy to have in
exchange for the item.

When buying, offer what you feel is a fair price.

Why is everyone always out to rip someone else off???
