You put your second-hand car out on the street with a 'for sale' sign in the window. You're thinking, "Hey, that car's worth six, maybe seven hundred dollars."
Then a seedy guy in an expensive business suit knocks on the door. "Hey, Champ," he says, "I'll give you $3,000 dollars for your clunker there." The two of you go out to look at the car and another car pulls up. There is another shady character in an expensive business suit. He says, "Hey, pal, I'll give you $4,500 for your junker." Soon there are 5 guys in suits. The price of the car is up to $12,700 dollars.
But you are not a jerk. You are not greedy. Even though $12,700 (or more -- the suits are still haggling! -- and you here figures like $20,000 used) would come in really handy, you are above money. "Stop!!!" you yell. "I only want $700 for the car." How many of you would do that? Even though your car is obviously for some reason in high demand.
So lay off A-Rod. No one will pay him unless they want to.
