    If I had a car to sell, yeah I’d sell it at it’s actual value. Capitalism and greed won’t get any better if we constantly throw out hands up and go “well the market says!” We’re in the mess we’re in right now because value under capitalism can change on a whim.

      So you’d sell it cheaper than everyone else and then… Still spend the market value for the replacement? I like to think of myself as an altruist, but I bow to you. I’m not gonna go carless or homeless for the sake of selling things below market to make a point. I don’t have the capital to cover that.

        Yeah that’d be the problem with all of this. Your (not you) well being > all. The whole got mine fuck you thing. That’s why we have empty houses and homeless people.
