re: Used truck prices - WOW

I was in the market a little over a year ago. Wanted a 2-4 year old 4x4 truck with 50k-75k miles. Everything I found used was in the $28k-35k price range. I ended up buying a brand new one with year end close out incentives for $31k. I looked for several months and could not find a used one worth buying. I still don’t know who in the heck is paying these used prices. When I went to sell my old truck (13 years old with 190k miles) I accepted an offer right at kbb value, then before we could finalize paperwork I had guys calling offering over kbb and my asking price if I would sell it to them instead!

For the record, I had already shook the first buyers hand and told him we had a deal so I declined the other offers and sold at the original agreed upon price. The whole experience still baffles me.
