[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 4074457, member: 5800"] Every item has two main values: 1. What buyers are willing to pay. 2. What the seller is willing to let it go for. The actual value of an item is nearly always number 1. If the seller is not letting it go below the price of number 1 then in reality they are "buying it" from themselves at the inflated value. While we constantly see examples on here of people selling things at a high markup where this relationship is prominent, the same is true when something new drops on market, whether guns, video cards, cars, whatever. In that case where demand is high, items sell ABOVE MSRP because buyer are willing to pay more. Heck, I'm guilty of listing things high here in the past. Mainly because I probably SHOULD let something go but I don't WANT to let it go. So if it's going to be gone from my safe then I want a premium to make it worth it to me. I've also paid extra for things because I wanted them "now" and didn't want to wait for something to post at what I considered a more reasonable value. [/QUOTE]
