My father sold cars for 35 years (Pontiacs from mid-60s to mid-70s was his heyday). I referenced the Blue Book once upon a time while talking to him about cars (which, oddly enough, we seldom talked in any detail about). He said "you can take a Zippo to that Blue Book of yours. A car (or boat, or guitar, or pair of speakers, or SS amplifier....) is only worth what someone will give you for it." Which would certainly seem to be the case.
A corollary to that is "a car (or boat, or guitar, or pair of speakers, or SS amplifier....) is only worth to me what I will pay for it."
And you don’t always know what that is until you ask or offer.
If the seller gets insulted.............in my world, likely not the type of person I’d typically enjoy doing business with any way, so........"no offense intended. Thanks for your time, good luck with your sale."
And onward.
