On a side note, I am sometimes bemused by people who post for sale expensive items at a high percentage of new price asking, "whats wrong with you people?" when they dont get a bite after only a few days.

THe other side of the coin is buyers who have seen a particular item sold at a fire sale price get narkey because a seller is asking a higher price at the time the person in question wants to buy.

The way i see it is theres two price levels for any item of kit.
  1. The "I want to sell this quickly" price
  2. The "I'm willing to wait for the person who would have bought this new if unable to find 2nd hand" price
