Loosing Money on Trades Here on ODT

I've done trades that were "in my favor" and trades that were not. My criteria has always been if it got me something I wanted. Yes there can be an estimate or given value to a gun but I don't mind "losing" if I am trading something I don't want or am not crazy about in order to get something I really like or will enjoy more.
 
I made a trade to a guy on here. He kept asking me my value, and I gave him a ball park. Obviously you wouldn't trade 100 for 1000 but a few bucks one way or the other won't kill me. I really didn't want the gun I was trading and I had wanted one like his for years and he wanted mine, sounds even to me. He seemed to be very worried about making it even (it was in his favor in his opinion). I told him a IMO a trade is getting something you want for something you have. The gun I traded I never used and after I got it I didn't want it. I was very happy with the trade and loved what I got WIN/WIN.
