Default Help me figure this out

So this guy wants $3500 cash, BUT if you want to trade he wants $4500 of trade value?

People get pretty nuts with trade options. "Hey, man, I like your bike. I have a sweet skateboard and half a ham sandwich to trade you. The combined value of them is more than your bike is worth, so I'm hooking you up."

Depends on how thick the cuts of meat are and how dry that turkey is

Its a simple matter of he figures people are padding a G on their trades. So he's back padding them.

Ok my best guess anyway.

Exactly

I USE to be a "list it for what you would be willing to take for the sake of a quick sale" kinda guy, but I had to learn the hard way to list high and be ready for lowballers.

If they want it, they will come eventually.

This guy's just learned the game.
