Over-pricing takes different roads to arrive there. One is that of the charlatan, who certainly knows. An untutored seller may seem too optimistic due to lack of knowledge. It is a classic reaction to start dollar signs spinning in the eyes of someone who does not know a mis-matched parts gun from the million dollar Luger, but has heard of the latter, which influences the price.

Some sellers have open minds that will allow them to reassess the situation based on the facts. Others will stick stubbornly to their ridiculous fantasies.
