I was quoted at 1.7
Now that makes sense. Posting numbers that you actually got quoted from brokers.

There is easily a .002-.003 gap between brokers prices. Quoting the full page mishpacha ad brokers prices here is pointless. Not saying that was the case in the quote above. I am just pointing out that one of those brokers offered a family member (they can somehow smell when you are mileage newbie) 1.1 for MR recently.

thats not bad. i know one of them paid .6 for SPG before the merger when it was possible to get closed to 3x that. I was shocked at the brazenness to even offer that low.

When people on the street don’t know better and are happy getting .6, there’s no reason for brokers to not offer that.

There’s no shortage of brokers on google search results that they can shop around by.

my point was less about the fact the seller took that price and more about the fact that a buyer was willing to offer that low. It would seem to me a very fast way to not have repeat clients when you are under market price by such a significant amount.

My point was the opposite. That buyer (and trust me, he’s not the only one) obviously knows he can get some  people to take the offer, and others will counter with higher (which he might agree / settle with).

Your outlook into this industry and market is very different from your average Joe on the street earning points.

When something has a set market value. (Yes yes I know we can argue all day how it’s not really a set value etc....) purposely lowballing the guy would be oynah and likely lifnay eever.

You made my arguments for me. Go to three brokers you'll get three prices. There's no set price here

Sure, you'll get 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9 but not .6!
