the only way i can 1/2 way see the trade Higher thing is this...
" If i need to sell something and i need the cash because i need to get rid of a toy etc......then i am not interested in a trade..I want cash..right ??
Now if a guy comes along and wants to pay me 1/2 the cash i need for my item and wants to trade me for the difference..then that means i gotta take possesion of someone else Junk they didn't want and now i gotta invest more of my time to sell their stuff just to clear my own cash back out of the deal...and just when you try to sell their stuff some other dude wants to trade you intstead of paying you....or you cannot Move their crap and you end up stuck with it.....cause 9x out of 10 someone wanting to trade you has something NOT NEAR as nice as what you are wanting to sell... (done experienced this more then i care to speak about)
So in this situation yes i can see where someone would say a trade value is Higher....Maybe they should stop advertising it and just do it...maybe that would make the low ballers and traders feel a little better about it the deal.
And if you think this trade higher value thing is New...then you must not have traded in a car to a dealership for a new car...
My advise is just pay a person straight up and you don't have to worry about it.......otherwise prepare to get the Short end...thats just business..
Just My opinion...!
