On the buyer's side, I think (and I'm guilty of this too) there may be an unreasonable expectation to get nothing but GREAT deals from fellow enthusiasts. We've all spent coin on our hobbies, and there's nothing wrong with trying to get as much coin back as long as you do it ethically. Market value is market value; if someone can get $2200 for damaged wheels that sold for $2400 new, then that's what they're worth, I guess. If they can't get it, the price will lower!

An old saying in real estate is that a piece of property is worth what a seller is willing to sell it for and a buyer is willing to pay for it.
Go figure ......
