Webster's..."retail (adj or adv): to sell in small quantities directly to
the ultimate consumer"
It doesn't have a damn thing to do with price per se. It simply refers to
"who" is selling. In this case, a dealer as opposed to a private party. The
prices quoted in the Blue Book refer to the expected price for a given
vehicle as a trade in to a "retailer" as opposed to the expected price the
retailer "may" charge the consumer. Obviously, only a moron would simply
pony up the amount of the initial offering. Sheesh people..get a clue.
