What a seller asks for

and what he gets are two independent points. The buyer and the market determine the actual sales price.

You can't take it personally that a seller gets it into his head that his car is better than all those other cars and so he should get more for his. Or a dealer wants to make money. It is just human nature.

Could edmunds be getting prices from actual state registrations? I know I've gotten 20% difference between pricing providers when I priced a car in the past.

Look at these few for a comparative set of prices. http://www.motorcarinvestments.com/

I just stumbled on them today recommended by a Raleigh owner.

"where is edmunds getting those prices from?" - perhaps from their main advertisers, dealerships.
