You're saying the price has gone down 2.3% if I calculate right. It's your right to set the price for sure, but it's also the right of potential buyers to argue that the price may be too high.
Update, the MBP is sold now.

Sure Magnus, a buyer has all the rights to argue. My side of story is a little bit different though. Take this example. When you want to sell a Tuned/Modified Car would you go to the second hand market to sell to one of the showrooms? Or classify it and list it and wait for a Car enthusiast like yourself to buy it from you and evaluate it right?

So I posted it here, as it's Macs enthusiast central right? That's why my expectation was higher. I know that the second hand market would buy it from me for max 8,100 cuz they'd resell it for 8,500, ye know..
