I have owned 6 Honda Civics....this is my current one And you can't compare it to others....

I think when starting a trade you can lose some credibility if you undervalue extensively right off the bat.

Sweet.....I currently own 2. My 2000, which has 220,000 miles is my daily driver. Not much to look at. But she cranks up and goes. Has cold air...working radio.....she is my daily driver. Then I have a 2010 with 75,000 miles. She is my "travel" car for longer road trips. Civics are GREAT cars.

I despise trading because it’s almost always not worth the effort…but I’ve made some bigger trades in the last couple years.

Traded Mahomes rookies for SGC 3 red Cobb
Traded a bunch of modern for a psa 2.5 52 Mantle
Traded t227 Cobb (and cash) for a psa 4 t205 Cobb (at the national)

It’s tough but it can be done. Best luck I’ve had is trading up aka my “cheaper” stuff for your 1-2 more expensive cards.
