This thread caused me think back to an earlier time in my life.  I used to
go around and low ball people that were selling their own personal used
cars.  I would look for the ones that were of good quality but hadn't been
taken care of.  I would spend a full Satuday detailing them, and then sell
them for anywhere between $500 and $3000 more than I paid for them.

I always believed that I made my money when I got the car at the low price.
If I knew I had paid a low price I didn't worry about how much I would make.
I could set my price (within reason of course). And just wait for the right
buyer to come along.

Fewer times I could tell in the first week that not many people liked the
car that I had for sale.  And for that reason it was time to move it. Sell
it for whatever I can get.  Try to make a little bit, but sell it quick.

Just my analogy.  You can't ever sell for a profit if you are always the
highest bidder.

good trading,
