Either you didn't read my post, or you just don't get it.
"Trade price higher" is not the same FREAKING thing.
I'll try again:
I put up an ad (WITHOUT SAYING "TRADE PRICE HIGHER") for my '67 Mustang Fastback for $15,000. That's what I figured it was worth in the (clean) condition it was in. I never stated "TRADE PRICE HIGHER" in the ad.
Right away I start getting guy's with cars's that are no way worth $15,000 wanting to make an even trade just because they jacked up THEIR price $5,000 over what they figured their's was worth.
And if you would actually READ my last post you will read what a previous poster wrote about how he (like you) won't say "TRADE VALUE HIGHER", but he admits that he will jack up the price of his car, just because he thinks that someone will want to play the "jew me down game" and he still gets what he wanted.
If your asking $20,000 cash for you '68 Dart, and that's what you think it worth, why would you think a '68 Falcon that you know might be worth $15,000 be an even trade just because he jacks up his price to match yours! If you would put "Trade Value Higher" in your ad, that guy with the "68 Falcon would never even respond to your ad!

Now you tell me how that's the same FREAKING thing.
Does everybody else get it. This guy don't seem to.

If i think the Falcon isn't worth as much as i am asking then i can say no thank you, I am not going to jackup the price on someone. Scamming is scamming either jacking up the price on someone or what ever :!: If i want $20,000 for mine then it stays at that price :!: I stay away from people that has ''Trade Value Higher'' :!: Some of us over on RJ has had this same conversation about this :!: There are alot of people that run's from this phrase :!:

OK this sentence first:
By saying "Trade value higher" you are not jacking up the "SELLING" price of your car. You're still asking $20,000. If someone wants to buy it (not trade for it) your cash selling price is $20,000. (You don't see any scamming in that sentence do you?)

Now second sentence:
Now lets say you would also TRADE with someone. Your cash price is still $20,000 but now you have all of these people that have inflated their price (as some previous posters have admitted doing) that are all over you trying to do an even trade, just because their (inflated) 'SELLING' price is the same as your (honest) SELLING price.
By simply putting "Trade value higher" in your ad you keep out the real "SCAMMERS".
If you would just stop and think about it, you would see that nobody's asking for more "CASH" SELLING money.

Now do you get it?
Lets also hear from others on this issue beside just you six guys that do most of the posting on this forum!

If you did not want the thoughts/opinions of others why did you post the question?

[b]WHAT? [b] AJK, I think you better go back to the beginning. I didn't post the question, but I WOULD like to hear the thoughts and opinions of the others.
