Contacting previous members to inquire how much you paid...

Screw people like that. It's worth what it's worth. This is not a socialist utopia (yet). Would these same people be willing to pay more if you were upside down on the value?

If I bought an item from a member for let's say $200, because he was desperate to sell it. But item really was worth $500 in market value. If I then offered said item as a trade value to another member...

A. Would I be a jerk or a flipper for not offering it at purchased value towards the trade?

B. Would the buyer who inquired through either the seller or listed item price from ad be COMPLETELY in the right valuing my item worth sale price, rather than market value?

Just curious.

Edit: Price numbers are completely fictional.

I've had a few folks refer to the past asking price. Funny though, they never factor in the time and expense and picking up the item and typically providing well deserved cleaning. Market value = Market value. Similarly I'm sure if you purchased a house at foreclosure, you would not sell it for the same amount later (unless you need the money for something as bad as the first owner). I have sold many items well below "market" only to see them resold at higher prices. No issue with that whatsoever as I must have needed the cash for something I wanted a bit more.

Price you paid should have no concern unless the person you bought if from was trying to get it back!

Not at all. I bought a pistol from a member for $525 that had a trigger installed for $200. True cost of gun was around $700. And when I wanted to trade for another item of equal value I was asked to pay $200 in cash, because I paid less then what the other guy paid for it ($715). Even though I never mentioned it to them.

Sounds like you have a 100% troll on your hands!

The value of an item is a conclusion reached by a willing buyer and a willing seller. It is affected by supply and demand, hence the wild fluctuations in price we have seen in recent years. If a seller wants $200 more than he wants the item that is not a determining factor on how a future seller might value the item who may have less desire for the $200 than he has for the item.
