Mitch,
I believe that one of the reasons people invoke "trade value" gimickry is because it is so vexing and invariably confuses everyone. From a sales point a confused buyer is less likely to act rationally (with reason) and therefore is more likely to make an a bad deal.
As someone else pointed out earlier in the tread, when people start talking trade value, just get up and walk out.
