Maybe it's just me, but I think the value is entirely dependent on what the person is looking to acquire and/or trade. There are caps I
really, really want, and if I had something of "higher" value that I was willing to trade, I'd do so happily. I can do this for a few reasons:
1.) I only buy caps at cost, so aftermarket value isn't of utmost importance to me.
2.) I'd rather have something I want and will use that something I do not.
Also, if an individual is generally nice, and doesn't aim to **** people over the kindness will be repaid back. I mean more as a general life practice than directed at any one in particular. You are all super cool, naturally.
