Something else to consider, it will be worth more to him than others, as it is only a mile or two away, and he will save considerably in hauling costs, versus another thats maybe an hour or more away. And also, he has been wanting this one for some time, so if he dosen't at least try to strike a deal, he will most likely always regret it.
Everyone has their own way to justify how much they will spend. What I usually do is figure the most that it is worth (to me) then add about 10 percent, as I would be pssd if I lost out for a couple bucks to someone else.
