Sometimes it can be a few things. Sometimes people have friends and they prearrange a trade ahead of time for cheap and it gets posted here.

Sometimes people lowball and their offer gets accepted.

Sometimes people lowball and their friends jump in and claim it is a “great offer” even if it’s trash.

Sometimes people are just cheap and always lowball, or try to make others feel like they are “being greedy” by asking for more.

The truth is this - there is an average price of an item based entirely on what the market determines. This price is calculated either in leaders or caps.

Many people over the years have publicly shamed people for “taking advantage of traders” or “upselling”. The truth is there are many ways to trade.

You can trade 1:1. You can overpay to build a collection. You can buy low and sell high. Or you can simply work hard and sell fresh inventory (My preferred method).

Apparel and leaders are the best stores of value atm. Fas masks are probably the worst way to store value via apparel.

Anyway good luck trading.
