This has always been a question for me. I have been in a couple passes now and followed quite a number as well. I also have done many trades. When doing these things value for value plays a part.

So my question comes to you all. How do you determine trade value??

I usually go off of MSRP for NC's. However, some states have taxes that can drive the price up to double MSRP.

For CC's there is no MSRP. At some sites you can get great deals, at others they are overly priced. There is no real standard by which to go by.

Now you all might be saying who cares, it's the spirit of giving that counts. And while I believe that wholeheartedly, it is a factor when doing trades, MAW, TAW, etc. I would appreciate it greatly to know how you BOTL's determine such things, or even if it matters to you.
