What is going on

An even better question than about what sellers are asking is what people are buying/paying. Agon blue book price charts should have that information.

Obviously, people will not buy used unless there is value in doing so.

Blue book is only a guide. There are listing costs paypal and shipping costs involved also. If you don't like used, pay retail. 250.00 less than what? Something that sold for 300.00 or 30,000.00 I just sold 2 subs 7 months old and actually made 8.00 dollars profit. I kept them mint and the buyer is happy, because he knows he'll never replace them for what he paid. I got a good deal and passed it on.

Just like any other market; Whatever you have is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. What's asked is just a starting point. If it's worth too much to you; you get to keep it.

"If it's worth too much to you; you get to keep it."

Great line!!! Gotta remember that one.
