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..
Well, you could view that another way too, if this place has more Apple/Mac enthusiasts than many other sites, then people here know their stuff, which probably also means they wouldn't accept your original price. And this is a second hand market as well. Anywhere you sell the Mac after you walk out of the store with it is second hand market, I would think. I'm not sure I understand your example, "would you go to the second hand market to sell to one of the showrooms"...
