I wont pay much over half of new price most of the time

It has to something special if I go over 1/2 of new cost on a used item. But I reckon John was on the right track as to why folks overprice stuff
Quote
1--they bought them used and don't know what new ones go for
2--becuz they can
3--they don't have 8-10 catalogs on their desk to check, like most of us do.
4--they were given the traps free and "someone told" them what they were worth.
5--they don't want to take a loss if any

May be some that divide by 1/2 instead of multiplying by 1/2 when setting the price.

Most of the stuff I buy isn't being made anymore so who knows what the retail price is?
