If I'm a musician with a spare amp, and I need a computer... would I want the amp or the computer more? If I'm a huge Elvis fan that got injured on his dirtbike and is no longer able to ride.... which would I want more?
Sure I could try and sell it, but then I have to wait for it to sell, then maybe I can make it back in time to buy whatever it is I want...
People have all kinds of reasons for trading stuff for something else that you would deem undervalued.... but that's the great thing about bartering, no one is attached to how many dollars something is worth. It's more of a do i want this over this type of deal....
