Seems a shade counter-productive everyone? maybe people are taking responsibility for any sort of advice given here and will make sure safety and sensibility come before politeness. maybe they care enough for morpheus or any newbie that he is being dissuaded as much as possible. is it that people c...

Think of both of these as guides. They are based on sales so should be a fairly accurate reflection of the market. But again, they are a starting place. Previous poster was correct, a good place to settle is between wholesale and retail...or as NADA puts it, trade-in and retail. (online they say lo...
