No.

I will not overpay for your house just because you overpaid. Suck it.

I always underestimate what people are willing to pay for things, actually. The amount of money that the average American will spend on things that I don't even want continues to confound me.

Storage Wars (a guilty pleasure, I just enjoy seeing what people are willing to lose to avoid storage fees) has this in abundance.

Stuff like $400 for a leather sofa and loveseat set. A new set, comparable to that storage locker leftover, would probably go for $500. And just because something is still new with the price tag on it, doesn't mean you'll get that amount.

Favourite was that Mark Vellajo guido douche who thought a broken NES was worth $10K.

If you've got no place to put it, you're wasting a lot of money if the storage time starts stretching from months to years. Why they don't sell it on ebay or craigslist and let the storage locker go I don't know.

I got a buddy wants me to help him sell his car. He says "it's worth 5k but I'll take 4".

I found one for under $2k in like 2 minutes.

In the case of the Jelly Bellies, for example, students, on average, said they'd be willing to fork over $4. In contrast, they estimated that other students would be willing to pay $7.30.

Study is flawed, a pound of jelly bellies is $6-8.
