Should current Value effect value of 20 year old gear.

Interested in antenna but bought in 88. I know I paid in 85 $129 for exact antenna. So 88 value should be near same.

But Asking price is based on current 400+ value of new.

Seem kinda silly, but is Current value truely a starting point?

I know if I decided to sell My A3 I took down that I wouldnt charge a price based off of current value.


Im not chastising him for asking price, I just curious if my opinion is off.

When bartering or even when selling newly manufactured goods there is no relationship between the original cost of an item (or the cost to manufacture an item) and worth of the item.. The true worth is the price it paid for it when it sells.

This is the practical application of supply and demand marketing. Put another way, think GASOLINE.
